What do we do when the world feels like it's unraveling? How to respond when our systems—political, economic, medical—feel brittle, even broken? It's easy to fall into despair, or look away. But maybe what we're being asked to do is look closer. To stay present.In this conversation with Ed Neal and Mel Hopper Koppelman, we explore the edges where medicine, ecology, and culture meet. Both are thinkers who don't shy away from complexity. Ed draws from classical Chinese texts and ecological systems. Mel, from her knowledge of science and systems thinking.Listen into this discussion as we explore the role of Chinese medicine in times of crisis, the importance of narrative and metaphor in clinical work, how despair and possibility coexist, and the invitation to practice medicine as an act of presence and participation.

What if the church was never meant to be a waiting room for heaven—but a community that builds paradise now? Recorded live at Phillips Seminary during the 2025 Remind & Renew Conference, Loren Richmond Jr. sits down with Dr. Rita Nakashima Brock to reflect on the decline of religious institutions, the collapse of reliable media, and how early Christian communities cultivated paradise on earth—not just in theory, but through shared meals, practices, and mutual care. Drawing on her groundbreaking book Saving Paradise, Brock calls for a return to rituals that ground us in community, memory, and moral accountability. In this episode, you'll hear about: The origins and impact of moral injury in war and church settings Why wisdom cannot grow in isolation—and how loneliness undermines it The role of ritual in forming resilient, embodied communities of faith Early Christianity's focus on paradise in the here and now What Protestantism lost when it rejected communal, repetitive ritual A powerful critique of institutional silence, spiritual abuse, and the theology of “waiting for heaven” How the Eucharist once fed thousands—and why we need that vision again   Rita Nakashima Brock, Ph.D., has been Senior Vice President for Moral Injury Recovery Programs at Volunteers of America since 2017. An award-winning author, she is co-author of Saving Paradise: How Christianity Traded Love of This World for Crucifixion and Empire (2008). She held the Endowed Chair in the Humanities at Hamline University 1990-1997, then became Director of the Fellowship Program at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study at Harvard University. From 2001-2002 she was a fellow at the Center for Values in Public Life at Harvard Divinity School. She co-founded the Soul Repair Center at Brite Divinity School in 2012 and directed it until 2017.   Presenting Sponsor: Phillips Seminary Join conversations that expose you to new ideas, deepen your commitment and give insights to how we can minister in a changing world.  Supporting Sponsors: Restore Clergy If you are clergy in need of tailored, professional support to help you manage the demands of ministry, Restore Clergy is for you!

What happens when we examine our priorities against the backdrop of eternity? In this soul-stirring episode, Jesse Cope tackles the uncomfortable truth about what we value most, challenging listeners with a simple yet profound question: "Have you made time to read God's word today?"The heart of this conversation centers on pain's purpose in our spiritual journey. Whether you're facing terminal illness, a crumbling marriage, or the consequences of poor decisions, Jesse offers no magic solutions but points to something far more powerful—Jesus Christ as the only permanent remedy that brings eternal joy beyond imagination. This message comes as both comfort to the suffering and urgent warning to those who continually postpone their spiritual awakening.Drawing from 1 Thessalonians, Jesse reminds us that tribulation has always been the norm for Christians, countering Hollywood's deceptive narrative that life should be easy. The episode takes a fascinating historical turn through Daniel Webster's 1820 Plymouth Oration, vividly portraying the extraordinary sacrifices of America's Pilgrim founders who chose faith over comfort. Their story serves as both inspiration and indictment when contrasted with our modern preoccupation with wealth, status, and social media validation.The conversation expands to explore how property rights and personal liberty formed the bedrock of American freedom—principles increasingly under threat today. Through theological insight and historical context, Jesse weaves a compelling case for returning to foundational values centered on faith in Christ and appreciation for America's Christian heritage.Have we become unworthy of the liberty secured by those before us? Listen now and reconsider what truly deserves your time and devotion in light of eternity.Support the showThe American Soul Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribe

Show Notes In this conversation, Simon and Amitabh discuss the current state of the world characterized by a polycrisis, primarily driven by neoliberalism. They explore the implications of this crisis on civil society, the role of the left, and the importance of grassroots movements. The dialogue emphasizes the need for emotional engagement in advocacy and the potential for change through collective action and solidarity. Key Reflections We are facing a polycrisis that is a manifestation of neoliberalism. The current crisis is the biggest since World War II. Neoliberalism has shed its humane pretenses. The left has become too centrist and lacks radicalism. Grassroots movements are essential for systemic change. Civil society must focus on holding power accountable. Emotional engagement is crucial in advocacy work. Generational divides exist but are not the only factor in activism. International aid needs to be reimagined for effective collaboration. There is a growing quest for freedom and justice worldwide. Keywords polycrisis, neoliberalism, left politics, civil society, grassroots movements, international aid, activism, generational perspectives, emotional engagement, human dignity Brief Bio Amitabh Behar, Executive Director of Oxfam International, is a global civil society leader with decades of experience in human rights, economic inequalities, governance, and social justice. Previously CEO of Oxfam India, he has held leadership roles in CIVICUS, Navsarjan, and Yuva. He serves on several global boards, including the Global Fund for Community Foundation and the Norwegian Human Rights Fund. Before Oxfam, he was Executive Director of the National Foundation for India and co-chaired the Global Call to Action Against Poverty, a network of over 11,000 civil society organizations. His work focuses on democracy, philanthropy, and citizen participation.

True peace comes from obeying God's Word, fixing our thoughts on Him, and trusting that He will keep us in perfect peace. Ultimately, we can find comfort in Christ's assurance that He is with us always, even in the most turbulent times.

In an era of societal anxiety and political fear, authentic spiritual hope provides an anchor through connection to our inner centre where we meet God. This hope, as modelled by Simeon and Anna, emerges through joy and active compassion, enabling us to remain present to both suffering and possibility.

In this episode, Ana catches up on recent events in her life and offers a variety of poems to soothe the soul and nervous system during this time of upheaval.

This interview is a bit different from our norm. We talk to the founder and CEO of OpenVPN about what it is like to operate a business based on open source, particularly through trying times like the recent pandemic. How do you compete when your competitors are free to build products using your software and IP? It seems like an oxymoron, but an open source-based business actually has some significant advantages over the closed source commercial approach. Show Notes: https://securityweekly.com/esw-391

Tapestries for Troubled Times   The stitches of the Bayeux Tapestry fix the story of the Norman Conquest of England in our imaginations in an extraordinarily charismatic way. But nearly a thousand years later modern stitchers are picking up their needles to reframe their stories in just as powerful a fashion, showing that textiles can rewrite our histories.   The Bayeux Tapestry was created by women in an age of great violence and uncertainty. It became the defining narrative of the battle between Harold Godwinson and William, Duke of Normandy, for the throne of England that took place in 1066.   The Great Tapestry of Scotland - finished just over ten years ago is an incredible work that retells the story of an entire nation from its very beginnings. It shows that when women tell the story in stitches a very different kind of history emerges.     Neither work changes the facts – nothing does that - but both are demonstrations of the power of stitch to redefine how we see ourselves and give us different perspectives on events, which ones we find important and what we feel about them. This episode of Haptic & Hue is about the power of Tapestry, ancient and modern, to recreate and reframe our stories.   For more information about this episode and pictures of the people and places mentioned in this episode please go to https://hapticandhue.com/tales-of-textiles-series-7/.   And if you would like to find out about Friends of Haptic & Hue with an extra podcast every month, hosted by Jo Andrews and Bill Taylor – here's the link: https://hapticandhue.com/join/
