Books are disappearing from kids' lives, and so is something sacred. In this episode of Celebrate Kids: Facing in the Dark, Wayne Stender and Dr. Kathy Koch explore startling new data showing that only 30% of eighth-graders read at or above proficiency, and that over 30% of teens hardly ever read for fun. Together, they unpack why reading has declined over the last 40 years and how technology has quietly taken its place. Dr. Kathy, whose Ph.D. is in reading and educational psychology, explains that kids don't just learn from books, they learn through them. Reading shapes imagination, memory, empathy, and even spiritual understanding. From a dad's nightly reading routine full of laughter and silly voices to the ancient call in Deuteronomy for God's Word to be read aloud to every generation, Wayne and Dr. Kathy remind parents that reading isn't just an academic exercise; it's identity formation. Discover how reading together restores belonging, deepens faith, and invites our kids to see the world through God's story, not just a glowing screen.

In this talk, Michael explores anatta (not-self) and emptiness as lived practices rather than abstract ideas. He shows how our thinking is often shaped by storytelling and emphasizes the role of sitting practice in moving beyond language to directly examine the mental habits that cloud understanding.

Ever pull tarot cards and feel like you're just...not getting it? Like you're missing something everyone else seems to understand?In this episode of Stay Magic, we're clearing up the three biggest mistakes that trip up new tarot readers (and even some experienced ones). This isn't about memorizing meanings or doing it "perfectly" - it's about shifting how you see the cards so they actually start speaking to you.You'll discover:Why reading cards as individual meanings keeps your readings flat (and what to do instead)How gendered interpretations of cards like the Empress and Emperor limit what you can see in your readingsWhy the court cards don't have to be about people (and what they're really showing you)The one truth about tarot that will take all the pressure off: you literally cannot get it wrongThis is your permission slip to stop overthinking every card pull and start trusting what you see in the stories unfolding in front of you. Because here's the truth: tarot is a tool for creating energy, not responding to it - and these shifts will help you use it that way.Ready to deepen your tarot practice?

“News is to the mind what sugar is to the body: appetising, easily digestible and extremely damaging.”    Rolf Dobelli, Stop Reading the News Most people think that consuming the news makes one an informed citizen who is equipped to form intelligent opinions on social and political issues. In this video, drawing from the Swiss author […] The post Why the News Promotes Ignorance and Mental Illness first appeared on Academy of Ideas.

This week on Nacho Fitness Coach, Caleigh and Sara dive into the absurd world of social media nutrition “experts,” where apparently if “protein” isn't listed in the ingredients, it simply doesn't exist. We break down a viral video claiming Fairlife shakes have zero protein (yes, really), and talk about how misinformation is messing with people's heads. We also unpack what ingredient lists actually mean, the difference between nutrition facts and macros, and how unrealistic physique expectations online have gotten. Plus, we go off on some signature tangents, reflect on body image goals that never seem to stop shifting, and try to make peace with the number on the scale. Spoiler alert: it's not about chasing perfection—it's about understanding your body and not taking advice from a guy shouting in the milk aisle.Connect with us on social media!Instagram | TikTok | Threads | Youtube | Facebook | X (Twitter) | WebsiteThis podcast offers health, fitness, and nutritional information and is designed for educational and entertainment purposes only.

The Bible can feel overwhelming — but it was meant to be understood and lived. In this series, we'll explore what the Bible is, how it came together, and why it's still the living Word of God today.

Whether you're new to faith or looking to go deeper, you'll walk away with greater confidence to read, trust, and live out God's Word.

LIES ABOUT PALM SUNDAYPalm Sunday is the most mistold tale since the Christmas story, making it the perfect cap to top off our series about the lies our Sunday School teachers taught us. Although I probably would lay the blame for this one more on pastors and teachers who turn an event that wasn't into a spectacle. It's not hard to see how so many people misunderstand what happened that day! All you need to do is STOP READING before the gospel writers finish telling their stories... I guess if you don't like the ending, stop before you get to it, right?Today, we read the WHOLE story and change the way we understand Palm Sunday to something quieter, deeper, and more dramatic than the lie most people have embraced.

I didn't always love the books I discuss on this show. In fact, this week I'm revisiting five books I couldn't stand when I was younger. But now? I can't get enough of them. Why the change?

Tune in to hear how my relationship with these books has evolved and why they've become essential reads for me today.Send Me a Text Message with Your QuestionsSupport the showIMPORTANT LINKS:

Yes, there are now 100 episodes of Shannon in New York City and Erik in Prague discussing the American Musical. To celebrate, we decided to each compile a list of 5 songs that, for us, represent what makes the musical the wonderful art form it is.

In this episode, we discuss the first 5 of these songs -- our next episde will cover the other 5. We sincerely hope you enjoy and that you'll email or message us with the 5 songs you would choose. NB: There will be a playlist of just the songs discussed in these two episodes included in the notes of the next episode to avoid spoiling anyone who wants the second half of the list to be a surprise.

Is following important political and international news a civic duty — or is it our civic duty to avoid it?It's common to think that 'staying informed' and checking the headlines every day is just what responsible adults do. But in today's episode, host Rob Wiblin is joined by economist Bryan Caplan to discuss the book Stop Reading the News: A Manifesto for a Happier, Calmer and Wiser Life — which argues that reading the news both makes us miserable and distorts our understanding of the world. Far from informing us and enabling us to improve the world, consuming the news distracts us, confuses us, and leaves us feeling powerless.Links to learn more, summary, and full transcript.In the first half of the episode, Bryan and Rob discuss various alleged problems with the news, including:That it overwhelmingly provides us with information we can't usefully act on.That it's very non-representative in what it covers, in particular favouring the negative over the positive and the new over the significant.That it obscures the big picture, falling into the trap of thinking 'something important happens every day.'That it's highly addictive, for many people chewing up 10% or more of their waking hours.That regularly checking the news leaves us in a state of constant distraction and less able to engage in deep thought.And plenty more.Bryan and Rob conclude that if you want to understand the world, you're better off blocking news websites and spending your time on Wikipedia, Our World in Data, or reading a textbook. And if you want to generate political change, stop reading about problems you already know exist and instead write your political representative a physical letter — or better yet, go meet them in person.In the second half of the episode, Bryan and Rob cover: Why Bryan is pretty sceptical that AI is going to lead to extreme, rapid changes, or that there's a meaningful chance of it going terribly.Bryan's case that rational irrationality on the part of voters leads to many very harmful policy decisions.How to allocate resources in space.Bryan's experience homeschooling his kids.Producer and editor: Keiran HarrisAudio Engineering Lead: Ben CordellTechnical editing: Simon Monsour and Milo McGuireTranscriptions: Katy Moore
