Dumbing Down the Future - Mike Judge's Idiocracy This is an especially fun one! This week Mr. Chavez & I take a trip into a very funny, very frightening, and very likely future. In 2006 20th Century Fox released Mike Judge's Idiocracy in a manner that almost guaranteed that no one would ever see it. . . . but the film would survive. Judge's bleak and pessiimistic vision of the future - the year 2505 - would find a cult audience that would embrace its hilarious prediction of a Professional Wrestler President, warehouse stores as a kind of Mecca, Fast-Food Restaurants as cheap, disgusting food and sex providers, and a population of such minimal intelligence that an "Average Joe" cryogenically frozen and awoken in the future would find himself the "Smartest Man on Earth". Judge spares no targets and we are grateful for the ride Idiocracy takes its viewers on. There's a whole lot to unpack here. Great Satire is usually ahead of its time and that is surely the case with this film. Judge would later joke, "I'm no prophet, I was off by 490 years." Sadly, he was right.

Pastor Christian Powell preaches to the Faith Church congregation on Sunday night, December 15, 2024. His message is titled "Life Lessons from the Smartest Man On The Planet" and it comes from 1 Kings 3.
Have we really come up with anything better than Jesus' view of ultimate reality since Jesus' first taught it? There is a general cultural presumption that we have. But when you ask for details, names and citations, the crickets can be heard. In this episode Michael Stewart Robb discusses Dallas Willard's claim that Jesus knows spiritual reality (ultimate reality) better than anyone else we might mention.

Meet William James Sydis, the “smartest man who lived.” Sydis' IQ score is estimated by some, to be somewhere between 50 and 100 points greater than that of Albert Einstein. By the time he was just 18 months old, Sydis was able to read The New York Times. At age 2, he taught himself Latin, and by age 6, he was fluent in eight languages, including Greek, French, Russian, German, and Hebrew. Sidis is not a household name, but he was an extraordinary individual whose brilliance often went unnoticed. Let's explore the life of one of the most enigmatic and misunderstood prodigies of the 20th century, along with Albert Einstein, and the history of IQ testing.

”The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy. For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross.“Colossians 1:15-20 NIV

Ecclesiastes (Wisdom When it Comes to Life's Ultimate Meaning)The Smartest Man in the Room – Part 3 Senior Pastor Keith Stewart January 28, 2024 #realspringcreekchurch #thesmartestmanintheroom #solomon #ecclesiastes #themeaningoflife #songofsongs #lovelife #love #relationships #proverbs #wisdom In the book of Ecclesiastes Solomon asks the question, “How can anyone discover the meaning of life?” (Ecclesiastes 7.24). At some point, it's a question we all have to answer. Why am I here? What's it all about? Because every one of us longs to find the meaning of life. Ecclesiastes is a deliberate attempt to explore all the options available to us to see what, if anything, gives life ultimate meaning. DISCUSSION QUESTIONS 1. As Pastor Keith pointed out, when Solomon says, everything is meaningless or vanity, the original Hebrew word was havel. Havel literally means “vapor, breath, or wind” in Hebrew. Think of a mere puff of air, the vapor on a coffee cup, or a passing sigh. That's havel. Figuratively speaking, havel refers to something that is empty of genuine gain, something that is fleeting and doesn't last, or is past the full understanding that you can't wrap your mind around. If you've done some reading in Ecclesiastes, what are some things that fall into this category? Now how about for you personally, what are things that are fleeting, don't last, or things that you just can't get your mind wrapped around? 2. The perspective that must be kept in mind as you read Ecclesiastes is Solomon's perspective of life “under the sun.” In other words, from a purely human standpoint, a view of things if you take God out of the picture, life as we see it, and experience it apart from God. In the message notes online, you can re-read the quotes from numerous celebrities who discovered that having money, fame or beauty was not all they thought it would be. Why do you suppose that is? Why is it so difficult to find satisfaction in life? 3. We're impacted by two universal laws. The law of unfulfilled expectations is all about achieving what we set out to do only to discover that it's not everything we dreamed it would be. And the law of diminishing returns is about how over time, the return we get from various activities and accomplishments is lessened. So it takes more and more to get the same level of high or euphoria. How do you see these two laws played out in society or among your friends? How have you experienced them in your personal life? 4. Think of work or money or pleasure as balloons. We fill them with our time, our energy, and our hope. We watch them expand. From the outside, they look to gain mass and you might even assume weight. But inside it's still only vapor. Death is the needle that shows the truth. It can all be taken away in a moment. This is part of Solomon's learning and something we seem to have forgotten in our death-denying, death-avoidant culture. How does the idea of death, facing our own mortality, teach us to live better and more intentionally?5. Pleasures are not goals to live for, but they are bonuses or consolations that we learn to accept with gratitude. The things talked about in Ecclesiastes are not inherently bad; they are just passing away. And because of that, they can never provide a permanent basis for happiness, contentment, or fulfillment. They're not bad things, just not a good foundation. So pleasure and happiness can never be our aim, not our goal, not our purpose. But they can be enjoyed when they come into your life. How does this inform the way you live?6. As we have immersed ourselves in the wisdom literature of Solomon over the last three weeks, what have been your biggest takeaways? Where have you been challenged to think differently about these books or about your life?
Song of Songs (Wisdom for Your Love Life) The Smartest Man in the Room – Part 2 Senior Pastor Keith Stewart January 21, 2024 #realspringcreekchurch #thesmartestmanintheroom #solomon #songofsongs #lovelife #love #relationships #proverbs #wisdom Could it be that an Old Testament book written nearly 3000 years ago contains the keys to relational success we desperately need today? The Song of Songs defines love as it should be while at the same time helping us navigate the obstacles and challenges every marriage will face. It's a fascinating little book that has more than meets the eye. SERIES: The Smartest Man in the Room (Life Lessons from the Writings of Solomon) God handed the man a blank check. He told him to ask for anything he wanted. While many of us might have asked for something else, Solomon asked for and was granted wisdom. Wisdom is God-given and God-centered discernment regarding the practical challenges we face in life. As part of his legacy, Solomon gifted future generations three books chocked full of wisdom for our daily lives. There is so much we can learn from the smartest man in the room. DISCUSSION QUESTIONS 1. The Song of Songs has the unique distinction of being written almost entirely in a woman's voice and from a female perspective. Pastor Keith also pointed out some apparent parallels and contrasts with the original story of the first couple (Adam and Eve). At the very least, this book seems to be showing us a redeemed perspective on what can happen in a marriage of mutuality as opposed to the power and control associated with the fall. How does this perspective challenge or encourage you? What have you been taught about the nature of the husband/wife relationship in marriage? What does it mean for a marriage to be a place of mutuality? 2. In the Song of Songs, the writer uses three different words to describe the fullness of love; RAYA – Intimacy or friendship, AHAVA – Commitment, and DOD – Passion. Which of these do you think society values most? Least? What would a relationship look like that was high on friendship and commitment but lacked passion? What would a relationship look like that was high on commitment and passion but lacked friendship? What would a relationship look like that was high on friendship and passion but had no commitment? In your present relationship or past ones, where have you been strongest and where have you been weakest? 3. Pastor Keith underscored the importance of genuine compliments in relationships and marriage. He pointed out how insecurities inhibit expression – that if there's an area of our life where we feel insecure, in that area we will always hold back to some degree. One of the greatest gifts we give our partner is praising away their insecurities. Has anyone ever done this for you? If so, how? Have you ever done this for someone else? If so, how? 4. Big issues that end marriages seldom start out big. Instead, they are best described as “little foxes that spoil the grapes.” They are small things that we ignore that eventually begin to take their toll on us in the form of resentments, score-keeping, and ongoing pain. What are some small issues that tend to grow bigger over time? What ways have you discovered for dealing with them? How do you keep little things from becoming big things? 5. In many ways, our closest and most intimate relationships can be a mirror of how God loves us. At least, that's the case when we are living by God's principles and have a healthy love life. What have you learned about God through your marriage or that of others? In all the things you learned about love and keeping a relationship healthy in the Song of Songs, in what ways do any of those principles remind you of the way God loves and relates to you?
Proverbs (Wisdom to Get Started Right)The Smartest Man in the Room – Part 1Senior Pastor Keith StewartJanuary 14, 2024#realspringcreekchurch #thesmartestmanintheroom #solomon #proverbs #wisdom In this new series about the wisdom literature of the Bible, we're going to begin with one of the best-known, most loved books in the Bible and that's the book of Proverbs. This is a book about life – your real life – your 9 to 5, day-in, day-out grind. It's practical and chocked full of wisdom for navigating the challenges life throws our way. If you haven't figured it out by now, it's our choices, not chance, that determines our destiny. The message of Proverbs, taken to heart, can help you make a better future. SERIES: The Smartest Man in the Room (Life Lessons from the Writings of Solomon)God handed the man a blank check. He told him to ask for anything he wanted. While many of us might have asked for something else, Solomon asked for and was granted wisdom. Wisdom is God-given and God-centered discernment regarding the practical challenges we face in life. As part of his legacy, Solomon gifted future generations three books chocked full of wisdom for our daily lives. There is so much we can learn from the smartest man in the room.DISCUSSION QUESTIONS1. Pastor Keith pointed out that proverbs are general truths but not necessarily absolutes. Can you think of any well-known proverbs (whether they were things you were told while you were growing up or those from the book of Proverbs) that have exceptions or caveats? If so, what are they? If you can think of any, take a few moments and google “popular proverbs in English” and discuss your thoughts about them.2. Wisdom is defined as the skill in making life-enhancing choices. In light of that, what have been some of the wisest decisions you have made? And conversely, what are some decisions you have made that were not life-enhancing? What did you learn from both?3. Solomon constantly reminds us of the importance of the quality of people with whom we associate. The foolish lead us down the wrong path and the wise lead us down the best path. C.S. Lewis underscored the importance of surrounding ourselves with those who are wiser than us. Who has that been for you in the past? In the present? What sort of qualities would you benefit from most in a new friend?4. Pastor Keith shared a chart in today's message that shows the range of the meaning of the word “fear” in the Bible. Where have you been on that continuum? Where are you now? Where would you like to be? If you are not where you desire to be, what past experiences or present struggles are proving to be an impediment?5. The Solomon Paradox is a real issue that many of us deal with but seldom acknowledge. We know the right thing to do but we don't do it. We have wonderful advice for our friends but struggle to apply it in our own lives and relationships. In what ways have you seen this play out in the lives of people you know or have read about? What's the best way to counteract the Solomon Paradox? Who do you know and trust so much that you allow them to speak truth into your life even when you don't want to hear it?

It has been a long time coming for who I deem "The Smartest Man in Baseball", to come onto this podcast. Paul Davis is the Atlanta Brave's Director of Pitching, former Major League Pitching coach for the Seattle Mariner's, and my former colleague when we worked for the St. Louis Cardinals together where Paul served alongside me with the rehab group as the "Rehab Pitching Coach" while I served as the St. Louis Cardinals Medical & Rehab Coordinator from 2015 through the end of the 2017 season. Most of all Paul is a dear friend and mentor of mine. Building upon the last episode where I first mention Psychological Capital (PsyCap), Paul and I discuss how he has integrated psychology into his work as a pitching coach to get the most performance out of those he serves and how this can also help all of us in our own life's version of High Stakes performance needs.Paul Davis was interviewed for part of the book The Arm which we discuss in this episode.Click here to follow me on IG @davemmeyer
The Shermans' funeral is weird, the list of eulogists long, and it's attended by Canadian boldface names. But ask anyone who knew Barry Sherman and they all say the same thing:he was the smartest person they'd ever met. Always finishing at the top of his class, Barry was smart enough to claw his way to the top of the infamously cutthroat generic drug industry and make billions of dollars. But he was also arrogant and unreasonable, driven and deceptive. Just the sort of man who dies under suspicious circumstances.

Today, we have a special episode of What The Hell Just Happened?! for you! Paul read about Elon Musk's latest Twitter adventure, screamed "He did WHAT?!", and quickly gathered CEDR's Director of Compliance Jennie McLaughlin and Content & Education Curator Amanda Rishor to discuss the situation. Although you might have already known about advanced HR tactics like "Don't fire your employees but not tell them" and "Don't publicly mock your disabled employees over Twitter in front of billions of people", there's a lot of other interesting HR stuff going on in this situation that many people might not have realized. Listen now to get the details and learn how "The World's Smartest Man" got pretty much everything wrong on this one.
