“Timore e tremore”. L'abusatore seriale Marko Rupnik amava citare la formula del filosofo danese Soren Kierkegaard ai suoi allievi negli esercizi spirituali che conduceva da carismatico gesuita e che preparavano lo sfogo violento delle sue ossessioni sessuali.  Il nuovo Papa Leone XIV, nel presentarsi nella sua messa di insediamento, spiega di essere stato scelto “senza alcun merito, con timore e tremore”. Una singolare coincidenza di citazioni che ricorda ancora una volta come per il nuovo pontefice sia impossibile sottrarsi all'urgenza di decidere cosa fare del caso Rupnik: continuare a proteggere l'abusatore, come faceva Papa Francesco, o sbloccare il processo insabbiato da mesi e provare a fare giustizia?  Il vertice dei gesuiti, in contrasto con le scelte di Jorge Mario Bergoglio, ha già riconosciuto gli abusi commessi da Rupnik e ha promesso di fare qualcosa per le vittime ignorate tanto a lungo. Papa Leone XIV con chi si schiererà, con i gesuiti o con Francesco?  Per capire la questione bisogna anche ricostruire come Rupnik usava la sua influenza spirituale per sottomettere e manipolare le sue possibili vittime. Un partecipante agli esercizi spirituali di Rupnik racconta come funzionavano.  Dopo il successo de⁠⁠⁠⁠ La Confessione⁠⁠⁠⁠, un nuovo lavoro di giornalismo investigativo sul tema degli abusi nella Chiesa firmato da Stefano Feltri, Giorgio Meletti e Federica Tourn La produzione di questo podcast è sostenuta dalle abbonate e dagli abbonati⁠⁠⁠ ⁠alla newsletter Appunti⁠⁠⁠⁠ dove potete leggere le inchieste di Federica Tourn⁠⁠⁠ ⁠e gli approfondimenti ⁠⁠⁠⁠dei temi trattati nel podcast.

In a world obsessed with metrics, image, and crowd approval, Jason Rigby delivers a powerful call to arms for leaders to return to themselves. Drawing on the radical philosophy of Soren Kierkegaard, this episode explores the timeless leadership truth: lead from the inside out—or don't lead at all. Kierkegaard's belief that “the crowd is untruth” challenges today's culture of consensus and invites us to take the hard road of individual responsibility. Jason weaves Kierkegaard's concept of the “leap of faith” into modern leadership, making it clear that authentic leadership requires bold, often uncomfortable action without guarantees. He exposes the silent epidemic of leadership despair—not burnout, but existential misalignment. Through the archetype of the “knight of faith,” leaders are invited to walk calmly yet burn with divine purpose. This episode is a wake-up call for anyone who's scaled success but lost themselves in the process. Timestamps: [00:44] – The Mirror Test: Are you becoming who you truly are?

Good morning, SaMoNaz -   I wanted to do something a little different today. Usually I send an email with a brief reflection to help us prepare for the worship gathering. But today I thought I would also made it available in audio in hopes that maybe if you can't sit down to read something today, you can listen to it while you make breakfast or putter around the house this morning.    For now I'm calling this a one-off audio, but who knows. Maybe it'll stick.   And so for today, I wanted to share a couple of quotes as we prepare for the worship gathering and then a small reflection all of which shouldn't take more than a couple of minutes.    One quote is from Dietrich Bonhoeffer and the other is from Soren Kierkegaard.   Bonhoeffer says, “The cross is not the terrible end to an otherwise god-fearing and happy life, but it meets us at the beginning of our communion with Christ.”    And Kierkegaard says, “The difference between an admirer and a follower still remains, no matter where you are. The admirer never makes any true sacrifices. He always plays it safe. Though in words, phrases, songs, he is inexhaustible about how highly he prizes Christ, he renounces nothing, gives up nothing, will not reconstruct his life, will not be what he admires, and will not let his life express what it is he supposedly admires.”   What I like about the Bonhoeffer quote this is how the cross is not an accessory to the Christian life, but the essence. To know Christ (and, thus, to know God) is to know him as crucified. There is no real communion with Christ other than with him on the cross.   What I like about the Kierkegaard quote is the recognition that there are admirers of Jesus who are not truly followers.    Both of these quotes are quite sobering in our North American culture where it is quite easy to identify as a Christian without the need to actually follow or imitate Christ. What further complicates this is that sides have formed about with means to follow Christ.    I write this partly in hopes that we might recognize if and when we slide into admiration of Christ when the going gets tough. But maybe even more importantly that we remember the cross does not mean all things to all people. It means something particular of the one who was crucified in the social, political, economic, and religious context of his day. Our witness as the church depends on being able to see this coherently and truthfully.    Palm Sunday is a time to remember this as the people wave branches and shout Hosanna at Jesus as he rides into Jerusalem, people who are perhaps not quite so aware that he—he who is the least of these, the poor one with no place to lay his head, who offended religious bureaucrats for loving their power more than people, who makes a way of inclusion for the marginalized, who makes is easier for the voiceless to be heard, who says renounce your privilege and sell all you have if the rising tide benefits you but not another, he who stares relentlessly into our eyes asking who do you say that I am?—this is the one riding to the cross and calling them and us to follow.    See you at 10:30am for worship.   Grace and Peace, Pastor Scott

In this podcast, we bring you 4 ways to manage your anxiety from the wisdom of Soren Kierkegaard. Soren Kierkegaard was a Danish philosopher, theologist, writer, and culture critic born in the year 1813 and is widely regarded as the father of Existentialism. So here are 4 ways to manage your anxiety from the wisdom of Soren Kierkegaard -  01. Use Your Anxiety 02. Acknowledge Regret 03. Embrace Absurdity 04. Realize That You Will Die I hope you enjoyed listening to this podcast and hope you find these insights form  Soren Kierkegaard will help you in managing your anxiety.  Soren Kierkegaard was a Danish philosopher, theologist, writer, and culture critic born in the year 1813. He has published a fair amount of works in his lifetime, most written under various pseudonyms. These pseudonyms expressed all kinds of different, sometimes even contradicting, views that have caused historians trying to find Kierkegaard's true beliefs to scratch their heads. Some of his pseudonyms were: Johannes Climacus, Anti-Climacus, Constantin Constantius, and ‘The Individual.' Some of his most notable works are: ‘Either/or', ‘Fear and Trembling', ‘Sickness unto Death', and ‘The Concept of Anxiety'. Kierkegaard is widely regarded as the father of Existentialism, a theory asserting that human beings possess no innate essence or fixed purpose and are free to determine their identity. Kierkegaard wrote extensively on this subject, although never using the term ‘existentialism' himself. 

Soren Kierkegaard, Danish theologian and philosopher, said that Christ did not come to make admirers. He came to make followers. You can admire Abraham Lincoln, but you can't become him. You can admire Michael Jordon or Caitlin Clark, but you can't become them. To admire Christ is to live a life untransformed by his grace. To follow him is to become like him. May this be our Lenten journey.

"It is said that the age of a tree can be reckoned by looking at the bsrk - one can also truly know a person's age in the good by the inwardness of the repentance."- Soren Kierkegaard

Ek wil eerder, soos nog altyd, ook nou in my hele bestaan – of ek bly leef en of ek moet sterf – Christus met volle vrymoedigheid verheerlik. Want vir my is die lewe Christus, en die sterwe wins. (NLV) Het jy opgelet hoe moeilik dit word om jou mening te lug; om met vrymoedigheid te sê wat jy as waar beskou? Ja, namate die samelewing meer verdeeld geraak het, het die tradisionele gesinswaardes, byvoorbeeld, nie net al hoe minder belangrik geword nie, maar dit is heeltemal van die openbare platforms geskrap.Wat doen ‘n mens nou? Een antwoord is om net eenvoudig saam met die stroom te gaan. ‘n Ander een is om vasgevang te word in die strikke van samesweringsteorieë. Of, ons kan kerm en kla oor die vernietiging van die reg tot vryheid van spraak, wat immers 'n basiese mensereg behoort te wees!Daar is egter 'n ander benadering. Terwyl hy in die tronk in Rome was, het die apostel Paulus geskryf: Filippense 1:20-21 Dit is my strewe en hoop dat ek nooit iets sal doen waaroor ek my sal hoef te skaam nie. Ek wil eerder, soos nog altyd, ook nou in my hele bestaan – of ek bly leef en of ek moet sterf – Christus met volle vrymoedigheid verheerlik. Want vir my is die lewe Christus, en die sterwe wins. (NLV)Ten spyte van sy omstandighede, was hy ‘n nuwe mens. Hy is totaal verander deur sy ontmoeting met Jesus jare tevore op die pad na Damaskus. Eerder as om te hensop of te kla, het hy dinge deurgedink en besluit om dapper te wees en om vrylik oor Jesus te praat, want hy het geweet dat dit die belangrikste ding is waarvoor hy geroep is.Soos die 19de eeuse teoloog en filosoof, Soren Kierkegaard, eenkeer gesê het: dit is te maklik om vryheid van spraak te eis as 'n plaasvervanger vir die vryheid van denke – ‘n vryheid wat ons selde gebruik.Ja, my maat, wees dapper, getuig vrylik van Jesus wat gekom het om die wêreld te red.Dit is God se Woord.

"LOVE IS THE GREATEST.""Even greater than faith, or hope, or any other thing.We celebrate the love of Valentine's Day and appropriately so. That loving celebration is fun, romantic, even emotional. It is a day set aside once to live love and to express our love to all, but especially so to someone special.Love is a word difficult of definition. In fact, it has many component parts. Love is complex, defining itself, manifesting itself in so many different ways. But love is a force without which we can not live, or live right. It is the stuff of life, and without it, life is mere existence, sterile and harsh. Love is the force, the resource of God, an energy which produces the highest and best relationships with OTHERS, and, as we love ourselves, allows us to live life at its highest levels.TO LOVE AND TO BE LOVED IS THE GREATEST HAPPINESS OF EXISTENCE. Sosaid Sydnie Smith.Love out and in is a daily process which produces the greatest happiness. It does indeed. Nothing feels better than to give love, share love, and experience love.NOTHING.""If you had no one to love, you would never be hurt. But, you would never grow. You would never venture outside your own self-centered needs and perceptions. Your heart would never be cracked open so that God could enter it. To love and love unconditionally is to take risks, and especially the risk of rejection. But nothing energizes and cleanses like love.Profound words about love by a poet unknown. To love another, large or small, is the only real way that one can grow as a human being. The risk of loving produces the risk of hurt but even hurt toughens and matures love. The risk of loving another allows one to VENTURE OUTSIDE and to experience. Doing that allows your very own heart to be CRACKED OPEN so that love in its purest sense could enter, that is God Himself. Loving is always risky, and especially the risk of rejection. Rejection hurts but it is part of the loving process. The risk of love is worth it because nothingenergizes like love, and nothing cleanses like love, NOTHING.""Charles Dickens said that a loving heart is the truest wisdom. Knowing life at its best, the most real and the truest wisdom can only be produced by a loving heart, a heart cracked open and wanting more love.""Robert Schuller said that in the presence of love, miracles happen. Love itself is a miracle and the loving miracle produces other miracles. Miracles can and should happen more often and they can and will happen when:LOVE IS AT WORKTrue love allows us insight, real insight into the character and persona of another:“BECAUSE I LOVE YOU, I CATCH GLIMPSES OF THE YOU GOD CREATED, THE TRUE YOU. I SEE YOUR IMPERFECTIONS AND FAILURES, BUT I CHOOSE TO SEE PAST THEM TO THE REAL YOU. LOVE CREATES A PLACE WHERE YOU ARE FREETO BECOME YOUR COMPLETE SELF.”""What a marvelous statement. Perhaps we can only really know another not completely but only with glimpses and those glimpses made possible only because of love.We are all riddled with imperfections and failures, are we not? We can see past things in our desire to find the real person, the real you. Love breaks down those barriers and produces eyes that truly see.Benjamin Disraeli the great English Prime Minister said that:“WE ARE ALL BORN TO LOVE. IT IS THE PRINCIPLE OF ITS EXISTENCE AND ITS ONLY END.”""Born to love, genetic, all that we really are, the very highest principle itself of existence. And, its only end, like the highest and greatest spiritual commandment that we should love the Lord our God with all of our heart, soul, mind, and strength and our neighbor as ourselves. In fact, we are known as Christians, followers of the Christ:IF YOU HAVE LOVE ONE FOR ANOTHERLove said another is tough, practical, and active. Love is washing the kitchen floor over and over again. Love is scrubbing the toilet and doing the laundry. Love is taking out the garbage and cleaning the refrigerator. Love is smiling when you are tired, finding reasons to laugh even when you are angry, volunteering for a dirty job, working hard, and making the world a better place.Powerful and profound. Indeed, love is practical. Love is very much in the scrubbing of the toilet. Love is there from the one who takes out the garbage. Love indeed delights in the dirty jobs for when you do for the least of these, you do it unto HIM.""And yet more insight into the God of all love:GOD SAYS TO US, IN LOVE, I HOLD YOU IN MY MIND. I REMEMBER YOU. I HOLD ALL OF THE PIECES OF YOU. THE PAST WOUNDS AND THE PRESENT. AND INLOVE, I KNIT THEM TOGETHER INTO THE PERSON I LOVE, THE PERSON I CREATED TO GIVE ME JOY:""YOU.""Held are we in the mind of God, remembering us even as we remember Him, all of our various pieces, wounds, wrongs, and problems no matter. God knits them together and all become the mosaic, the person God loves, the individual and special you.Love frees us of the weight and pain of life! True love always lightens life's heaviestburdens. True love is a force far more powerful than the weapons of any enemy.Life is a flower of which love is the honey, so said Victor Hugo. Love is knit into the very cells of our bodies. It is written into our DNA. It is encoded in the chemicals that make plants green. It is that which makes the sky blue, the substance of the song of the birds in summer, the whisper of the wind in the trees, the silence of the snow as it falls. Love is the voice of God calling to us endlessly and passionately through all HIS marvelous creation.There is no fear in love. Perfect love drives out fear. The more one loves, the less there is of which to be afraid. Love secures and drives our insecurity. Love at work is the most powerful force and energy of all.Take away love, said Robert Browning, and our earth is a tomb. Without love, life is like dead, lifeless, even meaningless. And, if you wish to be loved, LOVE. Any time that is not spent on love is time wasted.True love is a durable fire in the mind ever-burning, never sick, never old, never dead, from itself never turning, so said Sir Walter Raleigh. The durable fire of love burns unquenchable, always alive, always energizing.The great artist Vincent Van Gogh said:“THE HEART THAT LOVES IS ALWAYS YOUNG. LOVE IS A MARVELOUS BEAUTIFIER. LOVE IS ART AT WORK. I ALWAYS THINK THAT THE BEST WAY TO KNOW GOD IS TO LOVE MANY THINGS.”""Indeed, all of art is love at work and there really can be no great art without love. It beautifies and brings out the best in everything.Here, the words of Thomas Merton:“THE BEGINNING OF LOVE IS TO LET THOSE WHO LOVE BE PERFECTLYTHEMSELVES, AND NOT TO TWIST THEM TO FIT OUR OWN IMAGE. OTHERWISE,WE LOVE ONLY THE REFLECTION OF OURSELVES WE FIND IN THEM.”""The more we are perfectly ourselves, living to our highest and best, the more and better of us there is.Love cures people, the ones who give it and the ones who receive it. Love conquers all things, so said the ancient poet, Virgil.""Love allows us to believe so fully and firmly in God even when He is silent!The great thinker-theologian Soren Kierkegaard profoundly stated that when one has once fully entered the realm of love, the world, no matter how imperfect becomes rich and beautiful. It consists solely of opportunities for love.It is love, said Thomas Mann, not reason that is stronger than death. And that love, stronger than and which conquers death is the love of the Christ on the cross and the resurrection which followed.To love someone is to see a miracle invisible to others, said Francois Mauriac. Life is replete with invisible miracles which can only be revealed by love at work.If you love somebody, tell them, so said Rod McKuen. The telling unleashes the energy and the power of love.The heart has its reasons which reason alone can not understand, so said the thinker Blaise Pascal. Love is a dimension in life different from and beyond reason itself. The more the mind the less the heart and consequently the less love. Reason no matter how wise can never understand love.The great theologian Paul Tillich said that the first beauty of love is to listen. One who loves wants to listen more than talk, listen to every word, every expression of thought and emotion which comes from the one loved. Listening, really listening in a caring way, may very well be the highest attribute of true love.For those who love, time is eternity. Love is God's finger on man's shoulder. Love is like a running brook that sings its melody to the night. To wake at dawn with a winged heart and to give thanks for another day of loving. Love is a symbol of eternity. It wipes out all sense of time, destroying all memory of a beginning and all fear of an end.Sir Alfred Lord Tennyson said:“TIS BETTER TO HAVE LOVED AND LOST THAN NEVER TO HAVE LOVED AT ALL.”""Love indeed is risky, the risk of rejection but a life lived without true love is a life never really lived at all.I love you, says Anna Corbin, as you are, not as you wish to be. I love you for the real person you are, not the imaginary perhaps I fantasize you could be. I love the real,amazing, utterly unique YOU.""Love in the ultimate, unconditional, love so REAL.If you love until it hurts, really hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love said the wonderfully loving Mother Teresa. True love at work drives away the hurt.""Looking back, said one, I have this to regret. That too often when I loved, I did not say so. Love uncommunicated is love aborted. It is there but never shared. More time is spent judging people which leaves less time to love them.Zelda Fitzgerald said that nobody has ever measured, not even poets, how much love the heart can hold. There is no limit to love, none whatsoever. Love is there, always and love takes up when knowledge leaves off. In fact, love is the supreme knowledge, superior to all else.Love's greatest gift is its ability to make everything it touches sacred. Love at work produces the holiest of the holies. The great English statesman William E. Gladstone said the following:“WE LOOK FORWARD TO THE TIME WHEN THE POWER OF LOVE WILL REPLACE THE LOVE OF POWER. THEN WILL OUR WORLD KNOW THE BLESSINGS OF PEACE. POWER KILLS LOVE AND WITHOUT LOVE, THERE IS NO PEACE. THERE ISNOTHING MORE POWERFUL BEFORE AND EVER AGAIN THAN LOVE.”""The theologian Reinhold Niebuhr said the following:“WE ARE SAVED BY THE FINAL FORM OF LOVE, WHICH IS FORGIVENESS. FORGIVING AND FORGETTING ARE THE HIGHEST ACTS OF LOVE RESULTING IN OUR SALVATION. THERE WAS ONE, YEARS AGO, DRIVEN TO THE CROSS BY THE LOVE OF MANKIND PROVIDING IN HIS DEATH THE LIFE AND THE LOVE WE LEAD.THE CROSS WAS THE FINAL AND FORGIVING FORM OF LOVE.”""The crucifixion of the Christ on the cross was indeed the ultimate act of love. The great writer C.S. Lewis said the following:“TO LOVE AT ALL IS TO BE VULNERABLE. LOVE ANYTHING AND YOUR HEART WILL CERTAINLY BE WRUNG AND POSSIBLY BROKEN. LOVE BREAKS DOWN ALL BARRIERS, OPENS WIDE THE HEART, EXPOSES TRUE INNOCENCE AND RISKS THE WRINGING AND THE BREAKING OF THIS MORE PRIZED POSSESSION. REAL LOVE DEMANDS THIS, CONSTANTLY.”Sir Arthur Pinero said that “those who love deeply never grow old. They may die of old age, but they die young at heart.”That deep love here and now is but a prelude to the perfect love there. In fact, they are one love contiguous and continuous. Love is both earthly and eternal. Love never dies. For there is only one real happiness in life and that is to love and to be loved.The great writer Ralph Waldo Emerson said:“NEVER SELF-POSSESSED OR PRUDENT, LOVE IS ALL ABANDONMENT.”""True love is pure risk, always. Love at work risks hurt to the self and rejection by another. But the risk at work is what makes the word of love so special.""Vulnerability, openness, risk but so great reward.Hear then the marvelous words of the great poet William Wordsworth:“A PERSON CAN BE SO CHANGED BY LOVE AS TO BE UNRECOGNIZABLE AS THE SAME PERSON. LOVE TRANSFORMS, REGENERATES. LOVE PRODUCES CHANGE, EVERYWHERE AND IN EVERYONE. LOVE BETTERS WHAT IS BEST!”""The great philosopher Plato said that love is the best friend of human kind, the helper and the healer of all ills that stand in the way of human happiness. In fact, love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries and without them, humanity can not survive. And for some real definition of the word love, hear the words of Saint Augustine:“WHAT DOES LOVE LOOK LIKE? WHY, IT HAS HANDS TO HELP OTHERS. IT HAS FEET TO HASTEN TO THE POOR AND NEEDY. IT HAS EYES TO SEE MISERY AND WANT. IT HAS EARS TO HEAR THE SIGHS AND SORROWS OF HUMANKIND. THATIS WHAT LOVE LOOKS LIKE!”""Amen and amen. Hands and feet at work, eyes and ears to see and hear human need. Love at work is what love really is.Love comes supreme and most innocently from a child. A child's love is pure, uncomplicated, unconditional, fully trusting. Such innocence opens deep the world of feeling and emotion and it is a return to that childlike love and that ability to love which alone can make complete the adult version of that child. May we all be wise enough to return to the innocent love of a little child.And so my friends, my fellow Americans, we the Crawford Broadcasting Company wish you all of the love possible on Valentine's Day and during Valentine's week. May love in all its forms permeate your life and may you know the supreme love of the One who laid down His life for you. Live love every day and know the real and true meaning of life.And finally, the profound words of poet Emily Dickenson:“IF I CAN STOP ONE HEART FROM BREAKINGI SHALL NOT LIVE IN VAINIF I CAN EASE ONE LIFE THE ACHING OR COOL ONE PAINOR HELP ONE FAINTING ROBIN IN TO HIS NEST AGAINI SHALL NOT LIVE IN VAIN!”""Love is the greatest!"

The 18th century philosopher and theologian Soren Kierkegaard wrote that Jesus didn't want admirers, He wanted followers. Admiration of Jesus can actually mask a divided heart. In this message Jesus cuts through the admiration of three people, calling them to something far deeper. https://midtownchurch.com/

Realizing that he had made a tragic mistake by ending his engagement to Regine Olsen, the Great Dane, Soren Kierkegaard, wrote in his journal, "To live without love is a mistake for which there is no reparation, either in this life or in the life to come." Successful coupling is more difficult in modern times when we no longer need a spouse for the basics of survival but, in the end, falling in love was never really about survival. It is about meaning, and who couldn't use more meaning in life, along with a little coffee and poetry?

Pastor of Formation & Mission Benjamin Kandt ends our year and Advent series, preaching from Psalm 27:8. He focuses on the importance of both desire and discipline in our journey of seeking God. He contrasts various cultural perspectives on desire, from the postmodern focus on the journey itself to Eastern philosophies that view desire as a source of suffering. Yet, the biblical perspective suggests that our desires point us toward God, highlighting a beautiful paradox: even when we find God, the search continues as we seek to deepen that relationship, much like nurturing love in a romantic partnership.Pastor Ben also draws inspiration from Soren Kierkegaard's "The King and the Poor Maiden," to then reflect on the profound love and sacrifice embodied in the Jesus's incarnation. The journey to seek God's face is a pursuit initiated by God but is also an inherently relational endeavor. Through prayer and spiritual awakening, we are called to set our hearts free from lesser pursuits and focus on the transcendent beauty of Jesus' face. In the end, Pastor Ben encourages us to prioritize our spiritual journey, finding infinite satisfaction and vitality in this Christ-centered pursuit.

ENCORE RECORDINGThe Danish theologian and philosopher Soren Kierkegaard wrote a story about a king who falls in love with a lowly maiden. The story reflects God's desire for our love. In this episode you'll hear about Christ our King and how he calls us to be worthy of his kingdom.Readingshttps://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/112424.cfm

QUOTES FOR REFLECTION “There are two ways to be fooled. One is to believe what isn't true; the other is to refuse to believe what is true.”~Soren Kierkegaard “Now this is to be a fool— to act contrary to your own knowledge and better judgment.” “The moth is foolish that flies into the candle, and, having burnt itself, dashes again into the flame. We count the ox foolish that goes willingly to the shambles; but there are multitudes of men and women who take delight in sin; and, though every cup around them be poisoned, yet they drink at it as though it were nectar… We are great fools when we think that we can find pleasure in sin, or profit in rebellion.”~Charles Spurgeon “Only in Jesus can those born into folly, increasingly manifesting foolishness, on a crash course for destruction, be set free to true wisdom and ultimate life.”~David Mathis SERMON PASSAGEProverbs 1:7; 1:20-33; 12:15; 18:2; 26:11; 28:26 (ESV)Proverbs 17 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge;  fools despise wisdom and instruction...20 Wisdom cries aloud in the street,   in the markets she raises her voice;21 at the head of the noisy streets she cries out;   at the entrance of the city gates she speaks:22 “How long, O simple ones,  will you love being simple?  How long will scoffers delight in their scoffing   and fools hate knowledge?23 If you turn at my reproof,  behold, I will pour out my spirit to you;   I will make my words known to you.24 Because I have called and you refused to listen,   have stretched out my hand and no one has heeded,25 because you have ignored all my counsel   and would have none of my reproof,26 I also will laugh at your calamity;   I will mock when terror strikes you,27 when terror strikes you like a storm   and your calamity comes like a whirlwind,   when distress and anguish come upon you.28 Then they will call upon me, but I will not answer;   they will seek me diligently but will not find me.29 Because they hated knowledge   and did not choose the fear of the Lord,30 would have none of my counsel   and despised all my reproof,31 therefore they shall eat the fruit of their way,   and have their fill of their own devices.32 For the simple are killed by their turning away,    and the complacency of fools destroys them;33 but whoever listens to me will dwell secure    and will be at ease, without dread of disaster.” Proverbs 1215 The way of a fool is right in his own eyes,   but a wise man listens to advice. Proverbs 182 A fool takes no pleasure in understanding,   but only in expressing his opinion. Proverbs 2611 Like a dog that returns to his vomit   is a fool who repeats his folly. Proverbs 2826 Whoever trusts in his own mind is a fool,   but he who walks in wisdom will be delivered.

This week, in their liturgical recitation and study of the Hebrew Bible, Jewish communities all over the world will relive the terrifying moment when God commands Abraham to take his son, his beloved son, who was to be his heir and fulfill his deepest dreams for family transmission and ancestry, Isaac, and sacrifice him. What is this passage all about? What does it mean? What can be learned about Abraham, about Isaac, or about God by reading it carefully? Joining Mosaic's editor Jonathan Silver to discuss these questions on this week's podcast (originally broadcast in 2023) is Jon D. Levenson, a professor of Jewish studies at Harvard Divinity School and frequent Mosaic contributor. Levenson has written about this episode in several books, including The Death and Resurrection of the Beloved Son published in 1993 by Yale University Press, and also in Inheriting Abraham, published in 2012 by Princeton University Press. Akeidat Yitzḥak, the binding of Isaac, as the Jewish people traditionally refer to this episode, has a long afterlife in Christian and Muslim traditions; it is also a centerpiece of philosophical reflection among modern thinkers like Immanuel Kant and Soren Kierkegaard. Reading the text now in the aftermath of those later reflections, it's difficult to retrieve its original meaning. The temptation is overwhelming to propose moral justifications for Abraham and for God, to excuse or at least to try to soften the drama of Genesis 22. To hear what the text of the Hebrew Bible really might have to say in response to that temptation requires undoing some modern assumptions—a task that Levenson and Silver take up.

First things first... So, I have changed the picture that fronts the podcast. I also have changed the category from "Christianity" to "Philosophy." Both changes seem to fit more of where the podcast is and where I want it to be. Me standing next to one of the two Soren Kierkegaard statues in Copenhagen embodies my goal of staying close to his legacy and his writings. Christ at the center. Philosophy means "Lover of Wisdom" and how Christianity has lost its wisdom to a degree these days in an exchange for a bowl of political lentils/stew like Esau is disheartening. We have sold our birthright to fill our carnal hunger for power and other nefarious appetites (revenge, etc). As an aside, I was struggling in the episode to remember what "Philo" meant in the Greek. It means love. Sophia means wisdom. This episode continues to build on the Upbuilding Discourse on the Apostle Paul's "Thorn in the Flesh." An excruciating and chronic pain that Paul had in his body. In looking at the Greek word translated as "thorn"actually means "stake" and it is an instrument designed for torture. Chronic pain will splinter our worldly dreams of personal peace and prosperity, what Francis Schaeffer called the two idols of American Evangelicals. The Cross tells us that God himself took the stake on our behalf. God can use our worldly brokenness (the withered splendor of fulfillment) to bring a greenwood and eternal hope to us and others. Where do we place our hope?

Blurb:  We talk about Philosophy, comedy writing, agreeing with the show runner, not being afraid of the truth, the power of walking sticks, trying to figure out if God exists is dumb, Brooklyn as a place to grow up, and whether to lie to your kids about Santa Clause.Bio: A native of Flatbush, New York, Eric Kaplan began writing for Spy magazine and the Harvard Lampoon before getting his first television-writing job on The Late Show with David Letterman.  Before THE BIG BANG THEORY, he worked on other shows including Futurama (for which he won an Emmy), Flight of the Conchords, Malcolm in the Middle, and Andy Richter Controls the Universe.  Kaplan created "Zombie College" for icebox and co-created "The Drinky Crow Show" and "Mongo Wrestling Alliance" for Adult Swim through his company Mirari Films.   Kaplan has his PhD from UC Berkeley in philosophy on the comic in the philosophy of Soren Kierkegaard.  His book Does Santa Exist: A Philosophical Investigation was published by Dutton in 2014 and has been called by Matt Groening "the funniest philosophy book since...well, ever."  His science fiction and philosophy have appeared in the New York Times.    

Exploring the distinction between intentional ignorance and willful blindness, this episode delves into how we often choose to ignore uncomfortable truths that could disrupt our comfort. Through examples ranging from the 2008 housing crisis to our personal relationships with food, technology, and sleep, we examine how rationalization becomes willful blindness's constant companion. The episode challenges listeners to catch their "yeah, buts" and examine why they might be choosing to dismiss important information that could benefit their lives. “There are two ways to be fooled.  One is to believe what isn't true; the other is to refuse to believe what is true.” Soren Kierkegaard https://www.instagram.com/nicole_bachle

“There are two ways to be fooled. One is to believe what isn’t true; the other is to refuse to believe what is true.” ― Soren Kierkegaard    The European royals and aristocrats manage Christianity with Black Nobility managing the Vatican. Catholic means universal. Protestant royals manage Protestantism.     Middle Eastern royals and nobles […] The post WHO runs the world, it isn’t the Rothchilds, LOL.  Nancy Pelosi =Corsini Crime Family – House of Savoy finance particle accelerator weapons which are fueled by Uranium and Plutonium.

OK, I couldn't resist spoofing the Aussie Band popular in the U.S. back in the day “Men At Work.” Today's episode is with my Australian friend Ryan Ross who I have come to know through our mutual affection for Soren Kierkegaard. We talk about a lot of topics including Philosophical Fragments, Leap of Faith, Knight of Faith, and Love. Plus, a reference to Ultimate Frisbee which was totally unexpected. Thanks Ryan for being an encouragement to me with the podcast. You are a cool dude. Besides that weird accent. Ha-ha.

We read the conclusion to Soren Kierkegaard's On the Concept of Irony (1841), "Irony as a Controlled Element, the Truth of Irony."

Send us a Text Message.This is a Replay from Episode 73 which first published in October 2022.You know how this feels. You're called into a meeting on something important where a decision or action must be determined. But in the meeting, everyone takes turns making different points (presumably so they feel they've contributed to the meeting in front of their superior), the conversation goes wayward and when it comes time to making the decision, everyone's confused or (worse) misled. This is typically the point where the most senior person in the room then makes decisions, essentially based on what they thought before they entered the room, and the meeting has been a waste of time.It just doesn't have to be this way. The ORID method (Objective, Reflective, Interpretive, Decisional) traces its origins to a person named Joseph Matthews, a US army Chaplin who had just come home from World War Two. When he returned to his university professorship, he was consumed with the need to help people process the events of their lives – to help people build meaning from their own trials. Matthews met an art professor who showed him that any encounter with art involves a trialogue – or three-way conversation – between the art, the artist, and the observer. The Professor explained:   "First you have to take the work of art seriously by observing carefully what's there, and what's not. Then you must look seriously at what is going on inside of you as you observe the art to see how you are reacting, what repels you? What delights you? You have to peel back layers of awareness so that you can begin to ask what it means to you. Art, the professor explained, is like listening. You must work to create your own meaning from an artwork, or a conversation.” Matthews recalled his exposure to phenomenology - the study of phenomena and brought to mind readings of Soren Kierkegaard. Matthews used this structure to create, what was called the art form conversation, and what facilitators affectionately call the focused conversation method. The idea is a structured conversation that helps participants develop their thinking in a logical manner but following a natural human process for focused communication. Logic and facts are introduced first, then emotion is welcomed, followed by interpretation, and then a decision or resolution to the thinking process. In this episode we talk with Robin Parsons, a seasoned professional facilitator who uses the ORID method all the time. Listen For5:09 Definition and Role of a Facilitator7:38 The ORID Method Explained10:03 The Importance of Reflective Thinking17:42 The Challenges with Surveys in Capturing Full Thinking ProcessesGuest: Robin Parsons, MBA, CPF, CTFParsons Dialogue Ltd.Website https://www.parsonsdialogue.com/Email info@parsonsdialogue.com  Rate this podcast with just one click Leave us a voice message we can share on the podcast  https://www.speakpipe.com/StoriesandStrategiesStories and Strategies WebsiteDo you want to podcast?

THE FIRST RUNG THAT WE DILIGENTLY ADD TO OUR LIVES IS FAITH   2. THE SECOND RUNG THAT WE DILIGENTLY PURSUE IS MORAL EXCELLENCE   3. THE THIRD RUNG THAT WE DILIGENTLY GROW IN IS Knowledge   4. THE FOURTH RUNG THAT WE DILIGENTLY GROW IN IS self-control   5. THE fifth RUNG THAT WE DILIGENTLY PURSUE IS Perseverance   6. THE Sixth RUNG THAT WE DILIGENTLY GROW IN IS GODLINESS     7. THE seventh RUNG THAT WE DILIGENTLY GROW IN IS BROTHERLY KINDNESS   8. THE Eighth RUNG THAT WE DILIGENTLY GROW IN IS LOVE     Eros- Love found in romantic relationships. Connected to falling or being in love.   Storge- Love between family members. A protective love that can withstand hardships & trials   PhilEO-Love between close friends. Describes the emotional feeling of a close friend.   When David had finished speaking with Saul, Jonathan was bound to David in close friendship, and loved him as much as he loved himself. 1 Samuel 18:1 CSB   Agape - Love that is unconditional and sacrificial. The love that God is and shows.   Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. 1 John 4:8 NIV   God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them. 1 John 4:16 NIV   “But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:8 ESV   If I could speak all the languages of earth and of angels, but didn't love others, I would only be a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. If I had the gift of prophecy, and if I understood all of God's secret plans and possessed all knowledge, and if I had such faith that I could move mountains, but didn't love others, I would be nothing. If I gave everything I have to the poor and even sacrificed my body, I could boast about it; but if I didn't love others, I would have gained nothing. Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance. Prophecy and speaking in unknown languages and special knowledge will become useless. But love will last forever! Now our knowledge is partial and incomplete, and even the gift of prophecy reveals only part of the whole picture! But when the time of perfection comes, these partial things will become useless. When I was a child, I spoke and thought and reasoned as a child. But when I grew up, I put away childish things. Now we see things imperfectly, like puzzling reflections in a mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity.[c] All that I know now is partial and incomplete, but then I will know everything completely, just as God now knows me completely. Three things will last forever—faith, hope, and love—and the greatest of these is love. 1 Corinthians 13:1-13   If you love [agape] me, you will keep my commandments. John 14:15   WHAT HINDERS US FROM LOVE?   1. LABELS   Once you label me, you negate me. Soren Kierkegaard.   Definitions belong to the definers- not the defined. Toni Morrison   2. FEAR   Fear stifles the effects of love, this idea its us versus them, agreement or approval. True love challenges this fear, digs deep to uncover its roots, and replace it with an expansive and fearless love.   There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love. 1 John 4:17-19   Outrage is a double edged sword that initially feels gratifying but gradually corrodes one's being. Outrage is like a lot of other things that feel good but over times devour us from the inside out. Tim Kreider   You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I tell you, love[Agape] your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. Matthew 5:43-45    3. FALSE TRUTH   What hinders the love of God from us to others is when we compromise his Truth with our experiential truths and values. It produces confusion in hearts and minds.   WHAT HELPS US TO LOVE?   LISTENING   Listening is an expression of love. Reflecting our willingness to care, understand, and value others.   So much of what we think we know about one another could be radically changed by a willingness to simply listen. 2. PRESENCE   We can't love someone without Connection and that requires us to be PRESENT   Truth without love is brutality, and love without truth is hypocrisy - Warren Wiersbe   “Technoference” - use of technological devices that interferes with or interrupts everyday normal family relations and interactions   Withness - being with people in all their complexities and contradictions.   The word became flesh and blood moving into our neighborhood. John 1:14 MSG   For the love of Christ controls us, because we have concluded this: that one has died for all, therefore all have died; and he died for all, that those who live might no longer live for themselves but for him who for their sake died and was raised. 2 Cor 5:14-15 ESV   3. ACTION   LOVE=CHARITY=ACTION   SHARING WITH OTHERS OUR TIME, TALENTS, TREASURE, AND TESTIMONY IS THE BEGINNING OF PUTTING LOVE IN ACTION   There is no greater love than to lay down one's life for one's friends. John 15:13 NLT   Selfless love transcends the boundaries of conditional affection and defies the notion that love is a quid-pro-quo exchange.     This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us. This is how we know that we live in him and he in us: He has given us of his Spirit. And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in them and they in God. And so we know and rely on the love God has for us.                                                                          1 John 4:9-16 NIV

Today Mary Danielsen chats with JB Hixson on the influence - and confluence - of seven of the most influential men in history. Although they mostly represent ideologies of a more recent history, the dots worth connecting today are among those men who have had a hand in shaping the latter days. Their ideologies have not as much to do with conquering humans regarding real estate, but the territory of the mind - and idolatry. We will look at Darwin, Marx, George Welhausen, John Dewey, Freud, John Maynard Keynes and Soren Kierkegaard in our exposition of seven men who rule the world from the grave, a nod to a classic Christian book of the same name by radio personality, pastor, and evangelist David Breese, who went to be with the Lord in 2002. His book is timeless and serves to educate a new generation about the ideologies that have significantly planted themselves in millions of minds and hearts in both the 20th and 21st centuries. They may be in the grave but the gravity of their influence is astounding.   Shameless plug for swag for our listeners/donors! https://www.redpillprints.com/stand-up-for-the-truth - Thanks for YOUR Support!

Here at The Pocket Contemplative, we do deep dives into some of the richest Christian wisdom one can find about getting close to God. But one revolutionary thinker suggested that, while that's all wonderful and we should learn all we can from such people, these great saints did live in a very different world with very different spiritual dynamics than we live in. Many were cloistered. The average person was born into the trade of their family, married someone from their village, and went to the local church like all their neighbors did. But by the 1850s that Soren Kierkegaard lived in, everyone was flooded with unprecedented choices about what to do for a living, who to marry and even what to believe--a flood that has only accelerated in our time. He argued that human psyches weren't set up to handle that kind of flood, which makes us all anxious. His road out strikes Dave Schmelzer as a drink of fresh water for a thirsty (modern) soul. Mentioned on this podcast:Existentialism and the Authentic Life, a Great Courses course by Skye C. Cleary

Everyone is devoted to something. Engineers to a solution. Parents to well-rounded kids. Students to their classes. Even the lazy person is devoted…to comfort. But what should we be devoted to most? James insists our chief devotion should be to God. Reflecting on James' words, philosopher Soren Kierkegaard said we should cultivate the purity of heart to will one thing. What's your one thing? Your summum bonum, chief good? Let's consider a disordered life, a holy life, a devotional God. Scripture: James 4:5-10

The “Will” in the Prayer of Contemplation (Ch. 13 of the book).   Soren Kierkegaard said, Purity of Heart is to Will One Thing. This one thing of course is God's Will. St. John of the Cross speaks about the activity of the will as much if not more than any of the other faculties of the human person. The other two are intellect and memory. But it is the will that most significantly drives human behavior. The will is perfected through the virtue of charity, which is to say, all our thoughts, words and actions must be simple expressions of love. In this program, St. John of the Cross's words explain how we must overcome the natural tendency on the part of our will to seek satisfaction in prayer. We must never try to recapture or recreate gratifying experiences in our time in prayer. This would only serve as an attempt on our part to create our own image of God, one we both could then relate to and find our own satisfaction in. The most appropriate explanation here is that we should never attempt to find ourselves in God, but rather we should seek to find God in us. This road to union with God requires a radical purification of all that our senses and imagination could create; God is beyond all that. The only way for us to encounter God is through a process of naked faith, a letting go of all within us that is not God. A deep poverty of spirit is necessary, we must empty ourselves of all self-love, we must follow the example of Christ crucified. For it is a truth of the mystical life that the degree to which our will is united with the will of God determines the depth of love within our soul.   Books:    “Saint John of the Cross:  Master of Contemplation” by Fr.

Embark on a journey with me, Gus Holland, where the simplicity of joyous living meets the intricacy of thought. This episode is a celebration, not just of my birthday but of the profound wisdom found within Soren Kierkegaard's musings and Henry David Thoreau's 'Walden'. Engaging with life's experiences rather than puzzling over them is a theme we unravel, and I invite you to lighten the load of your weeks by perceiving life through this enlivening lens. 'Walden' may challenge you with its dense prose, yet it's a treasure map to a world where nature and self-reliance guide us to personal discovery and independence—themes that are as significant now as they were in 1854.I'm cutting to the chase in this short and sweet session, sharing resources to quench your intellectual thirst. For the bookworms, I touch upon apps like Libby and LibriVox, where a plethora of literary classics await your exploration—at no cost. And for the fitness enthusiasts among us, I drop a hint about some upcoming free workout plans designed to invigorate your physical regimen. As always, your support is invaluable; if these words resonate, pass them along to friends who might also appreciate a weekly dose of motivation. Until next time, keep striving, keep thriving, and thank you for joining me on the Way of Life.

In part 2 of a conversation with Dr. Stephen Backhouse, we explore how Christian Nationalism trains people to be anti-Christ. You cannot walk the way of Jesus—the way of non-violence and of caring for your neighbor, let alone your enemy—while abiding by the tenets of nationalism. Understanding these dynamics helps us not only understand our own lives, no matter our orientation to faith, and helps us make sense of the polarized world around us.
