Discussion Opening February 26th at the Vertigo Studio Theatre in Calgary, and closing March 5th, Full Circle Theatre presents a gender-flipped Romantasy version of Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew. Kyle sits down with director Cayley Wreggitt and costumer Tawni Marie Evans to discuss how this vision of the production came to be and what they hope audiences take away from the opportunity to bear witness to it. Tickets: https://events.humanitix.com/the-taming-of-the-shrew-hazndhyk About the Show: First produced by Full Circle Theatre in 2011, The Taming of the Shrew marked the beginning of our journey with Shakespeare. Fifteen years later, we return to Padua in a whole new way, reimagining Shakespeare's most provocative comedy through a bold, romantasy-inspired lens. This production keeps the original text intact while flipping the genders and placing the story in a lush High Fae Court. It is a world of magic, hierarchy, and unspoken rules where power is always up for negotiation. Here, a brooding fae prince meets their match in a fearless human knight, sparking a battle of wills that blurs the line between performance and desire. Often dismissed as one of Shakespeare's problematic plays, The Taming of the Shrew becomes, in this telling, a story about control, consent, and transformation. Witty, sharp, and charged with tension, this production asks what love looks like when two people refuse to yield - unless it's for each other. Expect Shakespeare's language layered with fae glamour, enemies-to-lovers tension, and a court where every glance, gesture, and word carries consequence. This is a Shrew that leans into spectacle and storytelling while wrestling honestly with the questions at its core.

Pastor Caleb Cole continues the Through the Fire series with “Taming the Fire of Desire,” a message on sexual purity, identity in Christ, and biblical boundaries. Teaching from 1 Corinthians 6 and 1 Peter 1, he explains how sexual desire is God-given but must be directed within God's design. This sermon calls believers to pursue holiness, protect marriage, and find freedom through intimacy with Christ.Click here to view the episode transcript.

Folks, we talked so much about this action-packed episode that we had to break it up into 2 parts! So today, we're back in Walnut Grove for Part 2 of the Season 6 finale, but only the first hour of the recap, because let's face it—we spent a full day analyzing Laura, Almanzo, Nellie, and Percival's love sagas. Next week will will finish the episode, officially!But today, Laura is busy helping Mary and Adam open the new blind school, all while trying to ignore her feelings for Almanzo. Meanwhile, Almanzo secretly works extra jobs to cover the school rent. And of course, a “saloon girl sighting” (Pamela's favorite character) almost sends Laura spiraling, and sparks a conversation with our hosts about sex and sexuality in the Prairie days.Meanwhile, Nellie and Percival's story is cooking up (pun intended!). Percival's strict training regimen is actually starting to work on Nellie, softening her attitude in a very "Taming of the Shrew" way. But it makes us ask...Is Nellie a submissive? Do short men have more masculine energy? It's giving Kermit and Piggy vibes, people!We laugh, swoon, and debate every glance, tearful scene (without actual tears? Where's the glycerin when you need it!), and prairie misstep—from Almanzo overworking himself into illness to Nellie's gradual change—making this hour full of classic Walnut Grove tomfoolery and romantic confusion.Next week, we'll finish Part 2 of Part 2, talk ice baths, dodge balls to the face, and nice Jewish husbands. You won't want to miss it!Then join us on Patreon, where we chat about Valentine's Day and Pamela shares the epic story of the annual LIW Dinner Party she attended!Links and Resources:Haven't signed up for Patreon yet?

Ever feel like a tiny terrorist runs your house? We've been there. Today we get honest about how well-meaning empathy can slide into indulgence, why that shift burns parents out, and how to reclaim calm authority without losing your warmth. Our focus is the sturdy middle ground—kindness and firmness at the same time—so kids feel seen and still meet clear, respectful limits.We start by naming the pattern: when kids refuse bedtime unless you stay for hours, dictate the menu every night, or shadow you into the bathroom, the short-term peace comes at a long-term cost. We break down the ripple effects—entitlement, poor emotion regulation, and exhausted caregivers—and then show how mutual respect changes the script. You'll hear simple, repeatable language you can use right away: I love you, and the answer is no; This is dinner, and you can choose to eat it or have fruit and milk; I'll read two books, then it's your job to rest. These are not power plays; they are loving boundaries that teach frustration tolerance and security.We also tackle the messy middle: the extinction burst that makes behavior louder before it fades, and the choice to suffer in circles by caving or suffer with a purpose by holding the line. You'll learn how to decide your non-negotiables, keep words brief and calm, and align with your partner to avoid the good cop and bad cop trap. Along the way, we share personal stories, mindset shifts, and coaching insights that help you spot your triggers and stay steady when your child turns up the volume.If you want less pushing from your child, it starts with being less of a pushover—without losing your heart. Press play for practical scripts and a clear framework to raise strong, considerate kids while protecting your own well-being. If this helped, subscribe, share with a friend who needs backup at bedtime, and leave a quick review to help other parents find the show.✨Want more? ✨JOINT me in an upcoming event: https://sustainableparenting.com/events ✨ Get my 3 KEYS to Calm, Confident Parenting (30 min.

Why You Should Listen:  In this episode, you will learn about the role of Body Ecology in Candida, Long COVID, viral illness, and autism. About My Guest: My guest for this episode is Donna Gates.  Donna Gates, MEd, ABAAHP is a pioneer in gut health, infections, and immunity.  Decades before it became mainstream, she was the first to teach about the extraordinary and complex world inside the gut, now known as the microbiome, and how it influences immunity, brain health, metabolism, and long-term wellness.  She is the founder of Body Ecology, a revolutionary system that introduced the first gluten-free, sugar-free, and dairy-free nutritional approaches, with a strategic focus on specific fermented foods to create a thriving inner ecosystem in the gut.  In her bestselling book, "The Body Ecology Diet", which has remained relevant for decades, Donna explains how to conquer Candida, restore microbial balance, and rebuild the immune system.  She reveals how the inner ecosystem is established at birth and how this process represents nature's original form of building a vibrant immune system.  By partnering with nature, rather than attempting to override it, we build true immune resilience, even in a toxic world where pathogens are a constant threat.  Her newest book, "Taming the Dragon: Body Ecology's Guide to Preventing and Treating Viral Infections", offers practical solutions for persistent viral illness, immune dysfunction, and long-haulers. Key Takeaways: What is the Body Ecology diet? What strategies can support optimizing Candida and the inner ecosystem? Can fermented foods be used in those with MCAS? How are conditions such as SIBO and SIFO approached? What was Donna's personal journey with Long COVID? What tools has Donna found helpful for regaining her health after COVID? How did SOT help Donna move past Lyme disease? What is the impact of spike proteins and how might they be mitigated? How can vascular health be optimized in the era of COVID? What strategies can support a robust immune system and minimize immunosenescence as people age? What role do chronic viruses have on health? Is it more important to boost or to modulate the immune system? How does the Cell Danger Response fit into the chronic illness discussion? What are some strategies for supporting the vagus nerve? What dietary changes are important when dealing with a viral condition? How do acidity and alkalinity play a role? What are some strategies for supporting detoxification? What has Donna seen over many years of working with children with autism? What is the Epigenetic Reset?

Welcome to a new episode of The Way Out Is In: The Zen Art of Living, a podcast series mirroring Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh's deep teachings of Buddhist philosophy: a simple yet profound methodology for dealing with our suffering, and for creating more happiness and joy in our lives. In this installment, Zen Buddhist monk Brother Phap Huu and leadership coach/journalist Jo Confino discuss what it means to walk a spiritual path. The conversation provides a deep and personal insight into the life of a long-term Buddhist practitioner, as Brother Phap Huu reflects on his 25 years as a monk, including the joys and challenges of living in a spiritual community; the role of a teacher on the path; the importance of finding one’s own inner teacher; the practice of celibacy; the transformations that can happen through spiritual practice; the lessons learned from 17 years as Thich Nhat Hanh's attendant; and much more.  Co-produced by the Plum Village App:https://plumvillage.app/   And Global Optimism:https://globaloptimism.com/ With support from the Thich Nhat Hanh Foundation:https://thichnhathanhfoundation.org/ List of resources Course: Zen and the Art of Saving the Planethttps://plumvillage.org/courses/zen-and-the-art-of-saving-the-planet Interbeinghttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interbeing Plum Village Traditionhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plum_Village_Tradition Fragrant Palm Leaves https://plumvillage.org/books/1998-neo-ve-cua-y-fragrant-palm-leaves  Dharma Talk: ‘Redefining the Four Noble Truths' https://plumvillage.org/library/dharma-talks/redefining-the-four-noble-truths Taming the Tiger Within https://www.parallax.org/product/taming-the-tiger-within/  Sister True Dedicationhttps://plumvillage.org/people/dharma-teachers/sister-hien-nghiem Sister Chan Khonghttps://plumvillage.org/about/sister-chan-khong Brother Phap Unghttps://plumvillage.org/people/dharma-teachers/brother-chan-phap-ung Quotes “A good teacher is to show that each and every one of us has a teacher inside of us.” “It’s enough of a journey to transform ourselves before we choose to transform other people.” “You’re already the person you want to be.” “A lot of us are defined by our past, and we let that become our whole narrative. But I think that Thay stepped into transforming his past and seeing himself in the present moment and not being caught in a prison of ‘what was'.” “Thay was very optimistic – not an ignorant optimism, but optimistic with the insight that there is awakening everywhere. We just have to tap into the right conditions, into the right path, so that those seeds can blossom into trees and into a garden.” “Every human being that comes into the spiritual path is different. We all have different stories, experiences, histories, upbringing. So we can't bundle everyone into the same boat. But each and every one of us have to see and accept each other’s differences, suffering, and limits, and be patient with each other.” “When we talk about becoming a monk, we talk about stepping into freedom. And that freedom is the choice that we have made to not chase after, in our language, worldly successes. Those successes come with different layers of desires and hooks that would trap us. And the aspiration is ideal, but on the path itself, we all have to encounter our own demons within us.” “Be beautiful, be yourself.” “There’s a saying, particularly for monastics, that, when you wear the robe of a monk, your home is everywhere. Because our home is the present moment. The present moment is our daily destination, so that is where we will never feel lost. But that is insight and that is practice.” “If we are a teacher who thinks we have all the answers, I don’t think we will really connect with everyone. We won’t connect with the ever-changing present moment, the ever-changing generations.” “When we see that our whole career will become a spiritual career, the deepest aspiration is to be free from all desires. And sex is a desire. Physical contact is a desire. Emotional connections could become a deep attachment, which is a desire. And, in our practice, why do we want to be free from that? Because only when we are free from it can we be of service to the world. Our deepest aspiration is to be of service to the world, whatever world we encounter in our lifetime. But if I have a family, if I have a partner, that becomes my world and that becomes my holy life, my holy family, my community – and, of course, my son or my daughter or my children will become the focus of my devotion. But monastics want to meet the world, at any moment, without being tied down and bound to these relationships.” “Sometimes, the mind is not the answer, and the heart is stronger. And we have to lean into the heart and be stubborn with the mind.”

Michael speaks with Gregory Brew, Senior Analyst at the Eurasia Group and country analyst for Iran, about the high-stakes decision facing the Islamic Republic: "strikes or talks." Greg analyzes the upcoming diplomatic summit in Istanbul, where the U.S. is pushing for "maximalist concessions" regarding Iran's nuclear program, ballistic missile stockpile, and regional proxy networks like Hamas and Hezbollah. Greg also discusses the strategic leverage of the recent U.S. naval buildup in the Middle East and whether these talks are a deliberate pretext for military action against Tehran. Greg also breaks down Iran's internal "credibility crisis" and the future of regional stability.

In this study we will take a look at the miracles that Yahweh performed on the Egyptians, when Israel was held in bondage, during this period in Exodus. We will see that those miracles were against the Egyptian deities or gods that they worshipped.The story of Moses is not just the story of the freedom of a group of slaves from Egypt in the second millennium BCE. It is the blueprint of the Plan of Salvation of the world as seen from the structure laid down in the Bible. Moses was the prototype of the Christ or Messiah. More importantly, the nation of Israel saw Moses as a prototype and the Bible record illustrates that point. Moses said: ‘And Yahweh said unto me, they have well spoken that which they have spoken. I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.' (Deut. 18:17-18).In this study I continue in chapter 10 verses 7 to 20. Chapter 10Verses 1-20     The Eighth Plague     Locusts7  let = ‘eth' ‘Aleph-Tav' Yahweh/Yahshua Messiah's ElectThat they may serve = “‛âbad” “aw-bad”' “ayin-bet-dalet” ‘Alpeh-Tav'Ayin = (eye) watch, know, shade (this letter is basically silent) Dalet = (tent door) move, hang, entranceBet = (tent floor plan) family, house, inAleph = (ox) strength, strong, power, leaderTav = (Cross) sign, covenant seal, mark and crossOnce again we see Elohim is charge. Not just anybody, but Yahweh/Yahshua Messiah's Elect. By bringing the people out of bondage they will enter into the promise land. However in order to perform this work, Moses and the people must keep their eyes on Elohim. Therefore we can say the meaning of ‘ye shall serve is a work performed or made for another out of obligation, requirement or gratitude. 8   And = ‘eth' ‘Aleph-Tav' By inserting ‘eth' this once again show that Yahweh/Yahshua Messiah are the driving force behind Moses and Aaron. 12  Eat = ‘'âkal' ‘‘aw-kal'' aleph = (ox) strength, strong, power, leaderKaph = (open palm) bend, open, allow, tame lamed – (shepherd staff), teach, yoke, to bindAleph = (ox) strength, strong, power, leaderTav = (cross) sign, covenant seal, mark and crossThe Hebrew Letter ‘kaph' is a picture of the bent palm representing the bending or subduing of the will, the Hebrew Letter ‘lamed' is a picture of a shepherd staff or yoke. Combined these mean "tame for the yoke". An animal or land that is tamed has been worked and is complete and ready for use.

Breaking The Silence with Dr Gregory Williams Turning Trauma into Power with Lurata Lyon, Co-Author of a new book titled The Strength of Resilience In this episode of Breaking the Silence, Dr. Gregory Williams interviews Lurata Lyon, author of Unbroken: Surviving Human Trafficking. The conversation explores Lurata's harrowing survival of kidnapping and organ harvesting gangs, her journey of self-healing through writing and fitness, and the profound realization that resilience is not just about bouncing back, but about choosing love over bitterness. Detailed Summary The Philosophy of Brokenness and Resilience Dr. Williams opens with a medical analogy regarding broken bones, noting that during the healing process, a callous forms that temporarily makes the broken site stronger than it was before. This sets the stage for a discussion on trauma. Lurata reflects that despite the horrors she endured, she would not change her past because it forged her current identity. She emphasizes that healing requires a conscious choice to reject the path of self-destruction and instead embrace love, stating she has become "walking love" to ensure the cycle of hate stops with her. Writing as a Mechanism for Healing Lurata shares the origin story of her book, Unbroken. Inspired by the character Carrie Bradshaw in Sex and the City, she began typing her traumatic memories on a laptop simply to mimic the character's routine of "closing the day." This exercise unexpectedly acted as therapy; by externalizing her memories onto a screen, she gained a new perspective—viewing her life as a reader rather than a victim. This process significantly reduced her nightmares and eventually formed the skeleton of her published memoir. Reality of Human Trafficking Lurata details her specific traumatic experiences, including being kidnapped by an organ harvesting gang in Kosovo and later held in solitary confinement for six months by soldiers in Serbia. She describes human trafficking as a "pandemic" and the biggest business in the world, surpassing the drug trade. The conversation touches on modern recruitment tactics, such as bribing parents in war zones (like Ukraine) or luring people with false promises of work, only to strip them of their passports and force them into begging, prostitution, or organ harvesting. Regaining Trust and Taming the "Monster" Recovery for Lurata involved relearning how to trust, starting with her uncle and eventually moving into the fitness industry. She became a successful personal trainer in London by focusing on making clients "feel good" rather than just losing weight. A significant part of her mental recovery was "taming the monster"—the internal rage and defensive aggression she developed to survive. Through mentorship and self-forgiveness, she learned to control her reactions to daily stressors, using breathwork to prevent small problems from triggering survival-mode panic. Future Endeavors Lurata is currently co-authoring a new book titled The Strength of Resilience with an athlete named Fatima, expected to launch in mid-2024. She is also expanding her work into the digital space with online courses on public speaking and mental fitness, and has established a mental health retreat in Marbella, Spain, focusing on hiking, breathwork, and healing. Trauma does not have to define one's future. As Lurata Lyon demonstrates, even the darkest experiences—such as human trafficking and captivity—can be transformed into a source of immense power and purpose. By choosing forgiveness, controlling one's internal narrative, and breaking the silence, victims can transition from surviving to thriving.

"I hate the way you're always right. I hate it when you lie. I hate it when you make me laugh, even worse when you make me cry." In the latest episode of AT THE MOVIES IN THE 90s, your host A. J.

In this study we will take a look at the miracles that Yahweh performed on the Egyptians, when Israel was held in bondage, during this period in Exodus. We will see that those miracles were against the Egyptian deities or gods that they worshippedThe story of Moses is not just the story of the freedom of a group of slaves from Egypt in the second millennium BCE. It is the blueprint of the Plan of Salvation of the world as seen from the structure laid down in the Bible Moses was the prototype of the Christ or Messiah. More importantly, the nation of Israel saw Moses as a prototype and the Bible record illustrates that point. Moses said: ‘And Yahweh said unto me, they have well spoken that which they have spoken. I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.' (Deut. 18:17-18)In this study I continue in chapter 9 verse 27 and finish up this chapterChapter 10Verses 1-20     The Eighth Plague     LocustsI start out reading from Thomas Horn book, ‘The Gods”5   And they shall cover = ‘kâsâh' ‘kaw-saw'' Kaph = (open palm) bend, open, allow, tameSamech = (thorn) grab, hate protecthey = (man with arms raised) behold, reveal, window, breathAleph = (ox) strength, strong, power, leaderTav = (cross) sign, covenant seal, mark and crossThese locusts, by the hands of Yahweh/Yahshua Messiah, will ‘cover' the open land as Moses stretches forth ‘his arms', however as the locusts are a 'thorn' in the side of the Egyptians, we see also the Divine Protection of His Electto see = râ'âh' ‘raw-aw'' ‘resh-alpeh-hey-‘ ‘Aleph-Tav'resh = (head of a Man)front, head, chief, first, top, beginningaleph = (ox) strength, strong, power, leaderhey = (man with arms raised) behold, reveal, window, breathAleph = (ox) strength, strong, power, leaderTav = (cross) sign, covenant seal, mark and crossTherefore we have with the 4 [earth] letters ‘resh, aleph, aleph, and tav' none other than Elohim, Yahweh/Yahshua Messiah telling Moses that as He looks through that window of space He is revealing (hey) the bondage of His peopleAnd they shall eat = ‘'âkal' ‘‘aw-kal'' aleph = (ox) strength, strong, power, leaderKaph = (open palm) bend, open, allow, tame lamed – (shepherd staff), teach, yoke, to bindAleph = (ox) strength, strong, power, leaderTav = (cross) sign, covenant seal, mark and crossThe Hebrew Letter ‘kaph' is a picture of the bent palm representing the bending or subduing of the will, the Hebrew Letter ‘lamed' is a picture of a shepherd staff or yoke. Combined these mean "tame for the yoke". An animal or land that is tamed has been worked and is complete and ready for use. Taming include; construction of holding pens, putting the soil to the plow, harvesting of crops, milk or meat. One eats once the harvest is complete.

The working is the work of Yahweh/Yahshua Messiah against the Egyptian deities!face of the earth = a Hebrew figure of speck for ‘eye of the earth'. Eye put for what is seen by it. This was either the appearance and color of the earth, so as they could not be discerned for the multitude of the locusts on it; the same word is used in Numbers 11:7 or the eye of man looking upon the earth, which would not be able to see it, because the locusts would be between his eye and the earthHave any questions?

Welcome to Day 2780 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom. Day 2780 – Wisdom Nuggets – Psalm 107:17-32 – Daily Wisdom Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2780 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day two thousand seven hundred eighty of our Trek. The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. The title of today's Wisdom-Trek is: The Great Rescue – Healing the Fool and Taming the Chaos. Today, we continue our voyage through the magnificent Psalm One Hundred Seven. We are exploring the second half of the four great testimonies of redemption, covering verses seventeen through thirty-two, in the New Living Translation. In our previous trek through the first sixteen verses of this psalm, we stood amidst the great assembly of the redeemed. We heard the call: "Has the Lord redeemed you? Then speak out!" We heard the testimony of the Wanderers—those who were lost in the desolate wilderness, hungry and homeless, until God led them to a city. We heard the testimony of the Prisoners—those who sat in darkness and iron chains because they rebelled against the counsel of the Most High, until God shattered the bronze gates to set them free. Today, two more groups step forward to the microphone. Their stories are perhaps even more intense. First, we will meet the Fools—those whose rebellion manifested not as chains, but as a sickness that brought them to the very brink of the grave. Second, we will meet the Sailors—the merchants who dared to do business in the chaotic deep, only to find themselves reeling like drunkards in a storm that swallowed their wisdom whole. In both cases, we will see the Hesed—the Unfailing Love—of Yahweh intervene when all hope was lost. We will see Him send His Word to heal, and we will see Him whisper to the waves to bring peace. So, let us listen as the next witnesses share their story of salvation. The first segment is: Testimony Three: The Fools and the Great Physician. Psalm One Hundred Seven: verses seventeen through nineteen. Some were fools; they suffered because of their sinful ways.  Their appetites were gone, and they drew near to the gates of death.  "Lord, help!" they cried in their trouble, and he saved them from their distress. The third group steps forward, and the psalmist introduces them with a blunt, uncomplimentary title: "Fools." "Some were fools; they suffered because of their sinful ways." The Hebrew word used here is evilim. In the wisdom literature of Proverbs, a fool is not someone who lacks intelligence; a fool is someone who lacks moral compass. A fool is someone who lives as if there are no consequences. They are spiritually reckless. The text tells us plainly that their suffering was self-inflicted. It was "because of their sinful ways" (literally, "the way of their transgression"). They lived hard, rebelled against God's design for life,...

James has been taking us on a guided tour of what it looks like to live as a “Doer of the Word” (1:22). In Chapter 2, he showed us how doing the Word shapes how we see each other (without partiality) and serve each other (see a need, meet a need). Now in chapter 3, James introduces a lengthy section about how being a doer of the word impacts how we speak to each other. This Sunday, we continue our study on “Taming the Tongue.” James offers different motivations for why this effort is so critically important in the Christian life. Join us as he continues to help us learn what it means to speak in line with Christ's own speech!

It’s Packers vs. Bears, and the margin for error couldn’t be thinner. In this episode of The Man Cave Podcast, Dan Kasper breaks down the biggest keys to victory for Green Bay in their latest showdown with Chicago. From finishing drives in the red zone, to surviving an elite Bears defense that leads the NFL in takeaways, the turnover battle takes center stage. Dan dives deep into the numbers, trends, and why Green Bay’s defensive drop-off in forcing turnovers could decide the game. The focus then shifts to slowing down Caleb Williams — a dangerous, athletic quarterback who thrives against the blitz and can beat defenses with both his arm and legs. How can Jeff Hafley’s defense confuse him? What unscouted looks might Green Bay need to pull out in a third matchup against a familiar opponent? And will Matt LaFleur and the offense have something unexpected ready early? It’s a detailed, film-room-style breakdown of a rivalry game where every possession matters — and one or two plays could swing everything.#ManCavePodcast#Packers#Bears#PackersVsBears#NFLPlayoffs#TurnoverBattle#GreenBayPackers#ChicagoBears#CalebWilliams#NFLAnalysis#FootballTalk#WisconsinSportsSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Listen to the rest of this premium episode by subscribing at patreon.com/knowyourenemy.We were excited to record and share this conversation with Matt Dinan, a professor who teaches in a Great Books program at St. Thomas University, a liberal arts college in New Brunswick, Canada. It brings together longtime preoccupations of the show — Saul Bellow's late novel, Ravelstein, Allan Bloom, Straussian political philosophy — with the fraught emergence of LLMs like ChatGPT. This past semester, Dinan took a fairly radical approach to confronting AI in the classroom, and it seemed to work. We consider the art of teaching, the qualities of great teachers, and what it all reveals about an insidious technology's effect on how we live and learn as citizens in, at least for now, a democratic republic.Listen again: "Unraveling Allan Bloom and Saul Bellow," June 21, 2021Sources:Saul Bellow, Ravelstein (2000)Allan Bloom, The Closing of the American Mind (1987)Matt Dinan, "Saul Bellow's Ravelstein," Hedgehog Review, Spring 2025— "Permission Structures," Prefaces, Dec 10, 2025— "It's Not Just a Calculator," Prefaces, Aug 28, 2024Jorge Luis Borges, "The Lottery in Babylon," Collected Fictions (1999)Jonathan Malesic, "ChatGPT Is a Gimmick: AI cannot save us from the effort of learning to live and die," Hedgehog Review, May 21, 2025— "Taming the Demon: How desert monks put work in its place," Commonweal, Feb 2, 2019

Welcome to Day 2765 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom. Day 2765 – Wisdom Nuggets – Psalm 104:10-23 – Daily Wisdom Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2765 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2765 of our Trek. The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. The title for today's Wisdom-Trek is: The Domesticated Chaos – Water, Wine, and the Rhythms of Life. Today, we continue our exploration of the magnificent Psalm One Hundred Four, trekking through the middle section, verses ten through twenty-three, in the New Living Translation. In our previous trek through the opening verses of this psalm, we witnessed Yahweh as the Cosmic Architect. We saw Him robed in light, stretching out the heavens like a tent, and riding the storm clouds as His personal chariot. We saw Him rebuke the primeval chaos waters—the Tehom—driving them back with a shout of thunder to establish the dry land. That was a picture of Power and Conquest, establishing order over chaos. But today, the tone shifts from the dramatic to the domestic. Once the house is built, it must be furnished and supplied. In this section, the psalmist shows us that the very waters God rebuked in verse seven have now been tamed. They are no longer a threatening flood covering the mountains; they are now a life-giving gift flowing between the mountains. We will see God not just as the Builder, but as the Provider and the Timekeeper. He is the Host of a vibrant, teeming world where wild donkeys, nesting birds, roaring lions, and laboring humans all find their place and their portion from His hand. This is a celebration of the ecosystem of grace. So, let us walk by the quiet waters and through the green pastures of God's creation. The first segment is: The Taming of the Waters: Drink for the Wild. Psalm One Hundred Four: verses ten through twelve. You make springs pour into the ravines, so streams gush down from the mountains.  They provide water for all the animals, and the wild donkeys quench their thirst.  The birds nest beside the streams and sing among the branches of the trees. The psalmist begins by revisiting the element of water. In verses six through nine, water was a chaotic force that needed to be bounded. But now, in verse ten, God has domesticated it: "You make springs pour into the ravines, so streams gush down from the mountains." This is a profound theological statement. In the Divine Council worldview, the sea often represented hostility and death. But here, Yahweh transforms the chaotic element into a servant of life. He channels the water into "springs" (ma'yan) and "ravines" (nachal). He creates an irrigation system for the earth. And notice who the first beneficiaries are. It isn't humans. "They provide water for all the animals, and the wild donkeys quench their thirst." God cares for the "wild donkeys"...

For our last podcast of 2025 we delve into two very different big band projects, check out a recording by a brass band formed to cheer a guy up on his half-centenary, and dig through crates to pull out a harmolodic gem from the early eighties, when bass knew how to be big.

For the past century or more, the left has put a high value on moral provocation, deliberately transgressing what they see as society's hypocritical or puritanical moral norms, whether in religion, sexuality, or public decorum in general. Now the right, too, is getting in on the fun, performatively violating the speech norms held sacred by liberals - which is sometimes good, but sometimes itself violates traditional morality, not just leftist ideology. Matthew Schmitz joins the podcast to discuss his First Things article "Taming the Tongue", about the psychology of edginess, the problem with widespread profanity, and the need for restraint in speech.
