This month marks five years since 2020 and a summer of protest across the world for Black lives, dignity, and justice. There was a lot of hope during that summer—hope that our communities would begin to ask questions about our history; pursue lasting, structural changes to our society; and begin to take serious steps towards true repair.In the years since, we've worked hard at Telos to create space for this work through our ReStory US Program. In this episode, we have a conversation in review of what the past 5 years have meant for that program and for our nation: Where have we seen it work, how has the world changed around it, and what might be its future as we continue to face mounting challenges to honest conversations about race, history, and justice in this country. We were delighted to have Director of US Programming, Dr. DeSean Dyson, Telos' co-founder and Executive Director, Todd Deatherage, and former Director of ReStory US and current Sprout NOLA Co-Executive Director, Administration and Operations, Yvonne Therese Holden, with us for this important conversation.--If you're enjoying the podcast, become a monthly donor to Telos!Subscribe to the Telos NewsletterRead and share the Principles and Practices of Peacemaking Sprout NOLAYvonne's Video Game Recommendation: South of Midnight
Send us a textStep into the extraordinary world of Paul of Venus, a spiritual guide who shares his profound connection with Mount Shasta—a sacred mountain acting as a cosmic gateway between dimensions. Through his personal journey of surrender and transformation, Paul reveals how this magnificent mountain serves as home to multiple civilizations across dimensions, including the fifth-dimensional Lemurian realm of Telos.The conversation takes us deep into the nature of multidimensional reality as Paul explains how Mount Shasta's natural vortexes, created by intersecting ley lines, form portals that allow direct communication with Ascended Masters, Pleiadians, Venusians, and other higher-dimensional beings. These energetic gateways offer humanity unprecedented access to higher consciousness during our current planetary transition."We are at an ending of a civilization, of a human cycle, and the beginning of a new human cycle," Paul shares, offering a perspective that frames our current global challenges as catalysts for collective awakening. His message of hope emphasizes that the fifth-dimensional Earth already exists alongside our reality—not as a distant future promise, but as an accessible frequency we can tune into through conscious awareness and the alchemical transformation of our fears and judgments.Perhaps most touching is Paul's personal story of physical and spiritual brokenness, which led him to Mount Shasta where Ascended Master Saint Germain guided him through a profound healing journey. Through complete surrender to divine will, Paul reconnected with his Venusian origins and discovered his mission to help humanity remember their true multidimensional nature.For those feeling called to experience Mount Shasta's transformative energies firsthand, Paul offers spiritual tours and retreats designed to create what he calls "eternal moments"—experiences outside linear time where participants can directly perceive higher dimensions and remember their cosmic origins. Whether you're a seasoned spiritual seeker or simply curious about multidimensional realities, this conversation opens doorways to understanding the greater cosmic context of our human experience.Support the show

Matthew David Segall, PhD, is an Associate Professor in the Philosophy, Cosmology, and Consciousness Department at California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco, and the Chair of the Science Advisory Committee for the Cobb Institute. He is a transdisciplinary researcher, writer, teacher, and philosopher applying process-relational thought across the natural and social sciences, as well as to the study of consciousness. He describes himself as a “process philosopher” and transdisciplinary researcher, reflecting his commitment to bridging multiple fields. Segall's work builds on the metaphysical framework of Alfred North Whitehead, extending Whitehead's philosophy of organism into new domains of science, religion, and ecology. In doing so, Segall reinterprets the Western philosophical lineage – from ancient ideas of a world-soul to German Idealism and beyond – to articulate a participatory, organismic vision of nature. His philosophy portrays a cosmos ensouled with meaning and experience, challenging mechanistic materialism and inviting a renewed dialogue between science and spirit. Segall integrates insights from Whitehead, Schelling, Goethe, and Steiner into a process worldview, develops an organic (panpsychist) cosmology, practices a bold transdisciplinary methodology, and engages public dialogues that embody a form of sacred activism on behalf of our living planet.TIMESTAMPS:(0:00) - Introduction (0:43) - History of Mind-Body Problem(7:40) - Critiquing Physicalism(12:55) - Quantum Theory Interpretations(16:14) - Addressing Illusionism & Scientism(22:00) - The Metaphysics of Prehension(28:14) - Panexperientialism in Physics(31:55) - Propositional Feelings(37:09) - What is Consciousness?(45:00) - Panexperientialism & Free Will(50:00) - Bridging Science & Philosophy(54:42) - Challenging the Cold/Dead Universe tale(1:00:39) - Misconceptions about Matt's work(1:04:20) - Telos(1:07:44) - Matt's Philosopher recommendations(1:13:00) - Mind At Large (Upcoming Events!)(1:17:40) - Conclusion EPISODE LINKS:- Matt's Website: https://footnotes2plato.com- @Footnotes2Plato : http://www.youtube.com/@Footnotes2Plato- Physics Within the Bounds of Feeling Alone: https://footnotes2plato.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/physics-within-the-bounds-of-feeling-alone.pdf- Matt's X: https://x.com/ThouArtThat- Matt's Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/matthew.david.segall- Matt's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/matthewdavidsegall- Matt's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/footnotes2platoCONNECT:- Website: https://tevinnaidu.com - Podcast: https://creators.spotify.com/pod/show/mindbodysolution- YouTube: https://youtube.com/mindbodysolution- Twitter: https://twitter.com/drtevinnaidu- Facebook: https://facebook.com/drtevinnaidu - Instagram: https://instagram.com/drtevinnaidu- LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/drtevinnaidu=============================Disclaimer: The information provided on this channel is for educational purposes only.

We have a new ambassador in town. Earlier this month, the US Senate confirmed former Governor of Arkansas, Mike Huckabee, as US Ambassador to Israel. As Ambassador, Huckabee is expected to endorse policies that forcibly promote Israeli government priorities. He has been quoted saying, “there is no such thing as a Palestinian” and that the West Bank is “Judea and Samaria,” a term used by Israeli settlers (and increasingly American Christian leaders) who claim ownership of the land based on their Biblical interpretations.Huckabee, and millions of American Christians like him, champion a theology of Christian Zionism, which prioritizes Jewish ownership of the land between the Jordan river and the Mediterranean Sea by any means necessary.This week, we discuss what that means, especially for the future of the millions of Palestinian in the West Bank, who are facing the most extreme circumstances of violence and displacement seen for decades. And we hear a special, bittersweet update from our colleague Sarah Sturm at the end of the show. --If you're enjoying the podcast, become a monthly donor to Telos!Subscribe to the Telos NewsletterRead and share the Principles and Practices of Peacemaking Read Greg's op-ed on the embassy move to Jerusalem circa 2016

What is the telos of education? In a free society, is it desirable or practical to attempt to design a single system of schooling that is ideal for everyone? Can schools hold a neutral position regarding morality and values, or is education a fundamentally ethical enterprise that inevitably adopts a new moral framework when an old one is removed?In this presentation, Patrick Halbrook considered these questions in a historical framework as they have been applied to American education in the twenty-first century.Patrick Halbrook is a teacher, graphic designer, and writer—as well as a passionate advocate for classical Christian education. Over the years he has written for various publications including The Imaginative Conservative, FORMA Journal, The Classical Difference, and Cary Christian School's blog, The Forum. He has a Bachelor of Arts in Liberal and Biblical Studies from Florida College and a Masters of Art in History from North Carolina State University.
What does US history have to tell us about what's happening in Israel/Palestine? Last month, a cadre of four Palestinian theologians—the next generation of scholars and activists and social scientists—joined us in an exploration of US history and how its legacies carry us to the present. These legacies exist as both currents of deep injustice, and as the wellsprings of joy that sprung out of the communities who resisted that injustice and emerged with their humanity intact.In this episode, we hear from ReStory US Director Dr. DeSean Dyson and participant Daniel Bannoura, co-host of the Across The Divide podcast, about the experience. We chart some of the connections between the forces of oppression and dehumanization across both contexts. We discuss how understanding history in context actually makes us better prepared to promote human flourishing and be more "fully human." And we celebrate the solidarity, connection, and humanity that emerges out of this work. --Leave a rating and review on Apple Podcasts or SpotifyIf you're enjoying the podcast, become a monthly donor to Telos!Subscribe to the Telos NewsletterRead and share the Principles and Practices of Peacemaking --Listen to Daniel's podcast, Across the DivideLearn more about and register for the Church at the Crossroads conference

In the past year, Telos has launched a new peacemaking travel experience in Ireland & Northern Ireland, to see what we can learn from the history, movement, and current reality of the conflict in Northern Ireland, and how we can support the work of true justice and peace in the area.While we're still in the early stages of this program, we traveled with 5 different groups in 2024—and there's already a lot we've learned. In this episode, we hear from Eli Philip, our staff member who runs these trips, on what you might expect from the trip as far as itinerary and locations.Then we hear from two of our board members who have both recently traveled with us to Ireland & Northern Ireland, Bretta Warren-Kim and Ainka Jackson, about their experiences—what they saw and felt, how it changed their perspective of peacemaking, and why they believe it's important to engage this story as Americans. If you are interested, we have open spots on our upcoming Ireland & Northern Ireland trip, September 5th - 13th. Go to our website to get all the details.

A dona da fazenda leu uma história para os bichos, como fazia todas as noites, mas vaca Mimosa não consegue dormir. Será que ela vai procurar a fazendeira ou se acordar no galinheiro? Mimosa arma a maior confusão e todos se irritam. A cama da fazendeira desmorona e o galinheiro fica destruído depois que Mimosa tenta se juntar às galinhas. No final, todos na fazenda estão acordados, menos...

Lai arī Latvijas sabiedrība labprāt kritizē politiķu darbu, pašu pilsoņu kopums nav tik aktīvs iesaistīties. Tikai dažām politiskajā partijām biedru skaits pārsniedz tūkstoti. Kādēļ sabiedrības iesaiste partijās ir tik kūtra, par to diskusija Krustpunktā. Analizē domnīcas "Providus" direktore un vadošā pētniece Iveta Kažoka, konservatīvās domas žurnāla "Telos" redaktors un biedrības "Austošā Saule" valdes loceklis Krišjānis Lācis, Latvijas Universitātes asociētā profesore, sociālantropoloģe Aivita Putniņa un Latvijas Universitātes Filozofijas un socioloģijas institūta vadošais pētnieks Mārtiņš Kaprāns. Pagājušajā trešdienā Krustpunktā bija diskusija par to, kas notiek un notiks ar Rietumu demokrātiju, pie varas nokļūstot mantkārīgākiem, negausīgākiem cilvēkiem. Jautājām, ko darīt, lai saglabātu brīvību, kas mums. Vēsturnieks Valdis Kuzmins sacīja, ka ir jāsāk pašiem ar sevi, kaut vai jākļūst politiski aktīvākiem. Latvijā atšķirībā no kaimiņvalstīm, nemaz nerunājot par citām demokrātijām, nav partijas to klasiskajā izpratnē, viņaprāt, ar desmitiem un simtiem tūkstoši biedru, bet gan tādi politiski elitāri klubiņi, kuros piedalās vien ļoti mazs skaits cilvēku. Tā nu tas ir. Mēs arī šad tad raidījumos stāstām par priekšvēlēšanām kādā no valstīm, kur partiju biedri vēl savas partijas vadību. Tur šīs vēlēšanas notiek valsts mērogā, piedalās simtiem, tūkstošiem, pat miljons partijas biedru. Latvijā nekas tāds nav iedomājams. Kāpēc tā? Ko tas nozīmē mūsu demokrātijai? Vai mums ar to ir jāsamierinās?
Mahmoud Khalil, a legal resident and green-card holder, was arrested without charge or warrant on private grounds for his activism during last year's encampments in protest of the genocide in Gaza. He is currently detained in Louisiana, alongside a number of other legal residents and foreign national scholars who have also been arrested and detained without charge—including Rumeysa Ozturk, a Turkish student of Tufts University who was arrested by plain clothes officers in plain sight over the weekend. On what legal grounds are his, Rumeysa, and others' arrests—or rather their abductions, as Greg puts it—sitting on? What does it mean for the status of free speech in our country and the protection of our constitutional rights? And what is our job right now as peacemakers to uphold the constitutional and human rights of all in the interest of our democracy and freedoms? We discuss some tangible next steps, essential talking points, and joint strategies for what to do. These are urgent times—yet they are full of opportunities for peacemakers to show up for justice, peace, and human rights. --If you're enjoying the podcast, become a monthly donor to Telos!Subscribe to the Telos NewsletterRead and share the Principles and Practices of Peacemaking Read Mahmoud Khalil's letter from his detention center in Louisiana and watch his arrest.

They discuss the historical context and cultural influences in the 19th century that shaped the phenomenon of Western Christian tourism in Palestine.

Since January 19th, when the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas went into effect, a lot has continued to unfold on the ground. While for the first time in 15 months a path out of the horrific violence seems possible, we know it is far from the end of the road towards a sustainable future of peace and justice for Israelis and Palestinians. Since the ceasefire we've seen violence expand across the West Bank, a new US Administration take power, and laws negatively impacting humanitarian aid take effect. We've also seen Israeli hostages being reunited with their loved ones, and Palestinian families across Gaza returning to their destroyed homes. It's been an emotional few weeks. Join the Telos team as we discuss state and settler violence across the West Bank, the current threat to UNRWA, and the actions and implications of the new Trump Administration and American rhetoric and power shaping the region. --Leave a rating and review on Apple Podcasts or SpotifyIf you're enjoying the podcast, become a monthly donor to Telos!Subscribe to the Telos NewsletterRead and share the Principles and Practices of Peacemaking
Telos recently led a ReStory US trip to the city of Charleston, South Carolina. Through our ReStory program we are working together to repair our home by knowing, owning, and writing a more honest American story. This conversation with Dr. DeSean Dyson and Dr. Otis Pickett unpacks some of the unique history of Charleston, and lessons, insights, and stories that can help our work of ReStorying our own communities, regardless of where we live. Our conversation touches on the history of Christian implication in injustice as well as Christian resistance to it, the importance of seeking out diverse historical narratives, and why history is critical to understanding the context today. With it, we can own our agency to act in imaginative and creative ways in pursuit of true and lasting peace.Read and share the Principles and Practices of PeacemakingJoin the Telos Learning CorpsFrom DeSean and Otis:40 Acres and a LiePurpose That Prevails (Dr. Otis' podcast)Liberia, South CarolinaVoices of Black South CarolinaBlack CharlestoniansIf you're enjoying the podcast, become a monthly donor to Telos!Leave a rating and review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify
Jason Miller and Todd Deatherage - Loving our neighbors is at the heart of what Jesus calls us to, but it's hard to love our neighbors if we don't know our neighbors. So for three weeks, we're hearing from partners who can help us understand what others are facing, whether here in the neighborhood, or in the global community. These conversations will give us the chance to grow in empathy and become more educated about what some of the most vulnerable people in our world are experiencing, and what we can do to help. This week, we talked with Todd Deatherage, executive director and co-founder of the Telos Group. Telos's mission is to form communities of American peacemakers across lines of difference, and equip them to help reconcile seemingly intractable conflicts at home and abroad. We've worked with Telos since the earliest days of South Bend City Church as they've helped us to understand the role of American Christianity in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, as they've helped us become more educated in America's own history and current realities of racial injustice, and as we've developed a local pilgrimage to deepen our awareness and relationships in South Bend. What's Happening RSVP to one of our upcoming New to SBCC Tables. The next opportunities are March 9 (in-person) and March 10 (via Zoom). Register for one of the two upcoming Lent Workshops. Support the ongoing work of SBCC by giving to the general fund. South Bend City Church is a 501(c)3 tax-exempt organization. All donations are tax-deductible.

Cities across America have boulevards named after him. The nation celebrates his life and legacy every year in January. Washington, D.C. boasts a massive monument of his likeness. Even so, most Americans have no idea that Martin Luther King Jr. was widely despised during this life and decades after his death. On this MLK Jr. Day, it's important to go "beyond the quotable King," as historian and author Jemar Tisby, PhD compels us.In this conversation, Jemar unpacks that history and his newest book, "The Spirit of Justice: True Stories of Faith, Race, and Resistance." In it, we also talk about the "great man myth" and the centrality of Coretta Scott King, not only to Martin's activism, but also to the broader civil rights movement. And we end with an important conversation on the opportunities before all of us today to pursue justice in the moment we're entering.--Purchase "The Spirit of Justice: True Stories of Faith, Race, and Resistance" by Dr. Jemar TisbyLeave a rating and review of The Telos Channel on Apple Podcasts or SpotifyIf you're enjoying the podcast, become a monthly donor to Telos!Subscribe to the Telos Newsletter

No one could have predicted what happened in Syria last week. After more than half a century of rule and thirteen years of a bloody war, the Assad regime fell.Across the world, Syrian communities erupted in celebration at seeing the brutal, dictatorial regime end, many quickly filling the roads back to Damascus and the city squares across large portions of the country to gather in freedom for the first time in decades.Many of us watching are asking: what does this mean for the region? Who is this group taking power? And what if this means things are going to get worse? This week, we hosted a conversation between guest host Sarah Sturm and two Syrian-Americans to discuss the events—including their reactions to hearing the news, what it might mean for them and their communities, and how to support Syrians as they embark on a journey of writing a new future for their country.Our first guest is Syrian-American musician, novelist, and political commentator Paul Nabil Matthis, and our second is actually your host - David Katibah!--Follow Paul on Instagram A faction cheat-sheet by Paul Nabil MatthisSyria Live MapIf you're enjoying the podcast, become a monthly donor to Telos!Subscribe to the Telos NewsletterRead and share the Principles and Practices of Peacemaking
With Christmas on the horizon, what does it look like to not just take the Advent stories seriously, but also the land out of which they came?In this episode, we invite our listeners who come from the Christian tradition to encounter a new lens on Advent that recognizes the geographic, political, and economic landscapes out of which it emerged—landscapes whose terrain echoes across millennia to bring us to today, a Holy Land enveloped in war, occupation, and a desperate need for hope.Kelley Nikondeha, author of the brilliant book, "The First Advent in Palestine: Reversals, Resistance, and the Ongoing Complexity of Hope," joins us to invite us into this new lens. She helps us ask essential questions, like what was the story behind the story of the Advent narratives, how can they help us understand and engage with the modern realities of injustice and violence facing the Bethlehem community today, and how can we ask that most crucial question of the narratives: whose peace, and at what cost? --Purchase “The First Advent in Palestine” by Kelley Nikondeha If you're enjoying the podcast, become a monthly donor to Telos!Subscribe to the Telos NewsletterRead and share the Principles and Practices of Peacemaking

What does it take to be humanely happy? Perhaps it's the very journey of the peacemaker that helps us discover the answer to this question, and it might not be the journey you would expect. Theologian, author, and peacemaker Andrew DeCort details this journey in his new abundantly profound and copiously beautiful book, “Blessed Are the Others: Jesus' Way in a Violent World."Through the nine-part movement known as the Beatitudes—the introduction to Jesus' famous Sermon on the Mount—Andrew helps us see that the pathway to "human happiness" is actually the pathway to peacemaking, but it doesn't come without a cost. Through his own experiences of building a massive peacemaking movement to having to flee a country that had become his home as it plunged into civil war, he helps us learn how to walk this path with him—not in fear, but in new purpose and joy. It's a chillingly challenging and beautiful episode you don't want to miss. --Purchase “Blessed Are the Others” by Andrew DeCort Leave a rating and review on Apple Podcasts or SpotifyIf you're enjoying the podcast, become a monthly donor to Telos!Subscribe to the Telos NewsletterRead and share the Principles and Practices of Peacemaking
In this episode, my guest is Ari Wallach, adjunct associate professor at Columbia University's School of International and Public Affairs and host of a new TV series titled A Brief History of the Future. We discuss the importance of learning to project our understanding of ourselves and our goals into the future, both for our own sake and for future generations. We also explore how this fosters a sense of unity and community within our species. We examine how technology and modern society influence our perception of time and our ability to make decisions in a fast-paced, reward-driven environment that leads to our best possible future. Additionally, we discuss how the dismantling of traditional institutions has altered people's sense of purpose. We outline protocols to cultivate long-term thinking, connect with core values, and define a deep sense of purpose. This episode provides listeners with actionable tools to merge short- and long-term thinking in ways that create a positive, lasting impact on ourselves, society, and the planet.
