El Congreso de los diputados celebra hoy que la Constitución vigente en España es ya la más duradera en toda nuestra historia. Y eso que no tiene ni 50 años. España históricamente ha tenido muchas constituciones, y muy cortas, interrumpidas por guerras, golpes de Estado y autoritarismos de todo tipo. La Constitución era casi un libro sagrado. Tanto que no se podía criticar ni tocar. Durante décadas, estar contra la Constitución era casi tanto como estar contra la democracia. Pero todo cambia en torno al 15M. Y no solo fue la izquierda, también partidos de la derecha se abrieron a su posible reforma. Han pasado diez años y una reforma constitucional queda lejos. De hecho, los que la querían reformar, ahora presumen de conservarla frente a la amenaza de la extrema derecha. Analizamos aquel momento histórico en la que se habló de una reforma y quedó en nada, así como la situación actual, con el profesor de Derecho y ex letrado del Tribunal Constitucional, Joaquín Urías; con el escritor, guionista y activista en varios procesos políticos desde el 15M, Guillermo Zapata, y con la politóloga y experta en movimientos de extrema derecha, Anna López. *** Envíanos una nota de voz por Whatsapp contándonos alguna historia que conozcas o algún sonido que tengas cerca y que te llame la atención.

Tillåta mig att vänta mer. Känner efter mer. Och då kan vi lägga märke till hur det där lugnet smyger sig tillbaka.”Text: Koranen 55:26-27Musik: Ouj-e-Asman (instrumental) - Mohammed EsfahaniProducentLina Hedmarkliv@sverigesradio.se

In this episode, we explore Genesis 12 and Abraham 1 through the lens of Come Follow Me, focusing on Abram's command to leave Ur and trust God's covenant promise. We connect his story to themes of repentance, forgiveness, and spiritual transformation, showing how leaving the old life behind is central to covenant discipleship.

Ezek után az Úr kiválasztott más hetvenkettőt, és elküldte őket kettesével maga előtt minden városba és helységbe, ahova menni készült. Azt mondta nekik: Az aratnivaló sok, de a munkás kevés. Kérjétek azért az aratás Urát, küldjön munkásokat az aratásába. Menjetek! Íme, úgy küldelek titeket, mint bárányokat a farkasok közé. Ne vigyetek erszényt, se tarisznyát, se sarut, és az úton senkit se köszöntsetek. Ha valamelyik házba bementek, először ezt mondjátok: Békesség e háznak! Ha a békesség fia lakik ott, rászáll a ti békességtek; ha pedig nem, visszaszáll rátok. Maradjatok ugyanabban a házban, egyétek és igyátok, amijük van, mert méltó a munkás a maga bérére. Ne járjatok házról-házra. Ha valamelyik városba betértek, és ott befogadnak titeket, egyétek, amit elétek tesznek. Gyógyítsátok meg az ott lévő betegeket, és mondjátok nekik: Elközelgett hozzátok az Isten országa. Olvasmányok, ünnepek a liturgikus naptárban. | Felolvassa: Varga László |

Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. Ur andakten:I perioder har jag spelat mycket improvisationsteater. Det är en underbar konstform! En plats där du får utmana dina impulser och öva dig i att se den människa du har framför dig. När jag klev över tröskeln till min första nybörjarkurs, så var jag både nyfiken och nervös. Det var en blandad skara människor som satt i rummet. Några verkade ha gått dit tillsammans, och andra satt spänt och väntade på att kursledaren skulle dra igång. Det var både kvinnor och män, olika klädstilar, åldrar och utseenden. Vi var en grupp människor som troligen aldrig hade träffats, om det inte vore för vår gemensamma hobby.I samhällets ögon var vi en brokig skara människor, men impron blev ett rum där vi kunde hitta gemenskap över gränserna. På många sätt liknar min församling, det jag fick uppleva inom teatern. Båda är spretiga gemenskaper, där det finns en styrka i att vi är olika.Text:Joh 13:34-35Musik:A Thousand Years av Christina Perri & David Hodges med Joel GraingerProducent:Susanna Némethliv@sverigesradio.se

Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. Ur andakten:För några år sedan bjöd jag in till en Thanksgiving-middag. Jag ville äta gott, ha låga trösklar och hitta ett tillfälle att tacka tillsammans. Så jag bjöd in fyra vänner och bad dem ta med en gäst var. Någon tog med sin kollega, en tog med grannen och någon tog med en person som behövde uppmuntras. Alla gäster fick förbereda något de ville tacka för.Jag ordnade noga inför kvällen. Dukade fint och tände ljus. Lagade mat som jag trodde skulle passa alla. Och det blev en fin kväll! Vi delade gemenskap och lärde nyfiket känna varandra. Till en början var det lite trevande samtal, men allteftersom kvällen gick så hittade vi varandra alltmer. Under efterrätten var det dags att berätta vad vi var tacksamma för. Och det var högt och lågt! Tacksamhet över en bra vecka, tacksamhet för hälsa. Ett tack för att ens ha överlevt föregående år och ett annat tack för att ha mat på bordet. När kvällen var slut, så var mitt hjärta fyllt av tacksamhet. Att vi tackade tillsammans, gjorde att jag återigen kunde hitta den kompassen i min egen kropp.Text:Psaltaren 106:1, 1 Thessalonikerbrevet, Psalm 702Musik:A Thousand Years av Christina Perri & David Hodges med Joel GraingerProducent:Susanna Némethliv@sverigesradio.se

I veckans andakter möter vi Clara Vennman, som är aktiv i Equmeniakyrkan i Göteborg. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. Ur andakten:Jag, min man och vår tre barn, är del av en matgemenskap. Vi är tre familjer, som träffas i varandras hem och äter middag tillsammans en gång i veckan.När vi startade för drygt 10 år sedan, så var vi tre par som längtade efter en vardagsgemenskap. Ett sammanhang som inte krävde så mycket av oss, utan dit vi kunde komma som vi var och sätta oss vid ett dukat bord. Så vi började laga mat till varandra en gång i veckan. Och sedan dess gemenskapen uthålligt hängt i, och burit oss genom sju barn, flyttar, jobbyten och livets upp- och nedgångar.Ibland har det varit genomtänkta middagar och sena kvällar, och ibland har det varit makaroner och alldeles för hög ljudnivå. Vissa gånger har vi fört samtal som har stannat kvar, och andra gånger sitter vi mest tysta med varandra. Men vi har fått öva oss i principen att dyka upp och dela gemenskap, oavsett hur lätt eller svårt livet känns den dagen.Och nu kan jag konstatera, att vi behöver vår matgemenskap för att både bära och bäras. Och att det inte längre är vi som bär rytmen av att ses varje vecka, utan att det är rytmen som bär oss.Text: ApostlagärningarnaMusik:A Thousand Years av Christina Perri & David Hodges med Joel GraingerProducent:Susanna Némethliv@sverigesradio.se

Prokuratúra považuje darovanie Migov a systému S300 na Ukrajinu počas Hegerovej vlády za čin hodný dobrého hospodára a zastavila trestné stíhanie. Podľa premiéra tak prokurátori vstúpili do politického boja na strane opozície. Polícia aj európski prokurátori však stále vyšetrujú darovanie munície či odovzdanie technických dokumentov.Aké to napokon celé dopadne? Určite bývalý minister obrany nepochybil? Prečo o ňom hovoria Sulík s Matovičom, že pri darovaní S300 oklamal vládu? Je na mieste, že sa teraz exminister Naď vyhráža premiérovi stíhaním, ak sa dostane opäť k moci?A akú majú Demokrati šancu, že by práve ich referendum bolo úspešné? Nie je to príliš drahá predvolebná kampaň a účet voličov? Braňo Závodský sa rozprával s exministrom obrany a predsedom strany Demokrati Jaroslavom Naďom.

Den 13 april 1970. En mindre skara människor har samlats vid Kennedy Space Center där det är dags för uppskjutningen av Apollo 13. Nedräkningen når noll - och farkosten dånar upp ut ur atmosfären.Men väl på väg skakas raketen av en explosion. En syrgastank har sprängts och på ett ögonblick förvandlas en historisk månlandning till en kamp för att överleva – 32 000 mil från jorden. Med syre som läcker ut i rymdens mörker och ström som snabbt försvinner tvingas Jim Lovell, Fred Haise och Jack Swigert göra det otänkbara: använda månlandaren Aquarius som en livbåt. Kan de överleva resan hem igen?Detta är berättelsen om Apollo 13 och de tre astronauter som fick använda all sin träning, list och mod - för att överleva på den mest utsatta platsen i universum.Inläsare: Ellen NorbergResearch och manus: Adelina ThimFaktagranskning: Linn EkRedaktör: Alex HaegerLjudläggning och klippning: Evelina FernerudProducent: Oliver BergmanExekutiv Producent: Victoria RinkousKällor:https://spacecenter.org/apollo-13-virtual-exhibit/https://www.planetary.org/space-missions/apollo-13https://www.britannica.com/topic/Apollo-13-missionhttps://www.nasa.gov/missions/apollo/apollo-13-the-successful-failure/https://airandspace.si.edu/collection-objects/command-module-apollo-13/nasm_A19740651000https://www.nasa.gov/history/afj/ap13fj/08day3-problem.htmlhttps://www.nasa.gov/missions/apollo/apollo-13-mission-details/https://www.universetoday.com/articles/13-things-that-saved-apollo-13-part-5-unexplained-shutdown-of-the-saturn-v-center-engine 13 Factors That Saved Apollo 13https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3884428/Apollo 13: Survivalhttps://www.imdb.com/title/tt31852716/Apollo 13 och rymdrysaren (UR)https://urplay.se/program/241879-overlevare-mot-alla-odds-apollo-13-och-rymdrysaren

Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. Ur andakten:För visst möter vi de människorna ibland – de som verkar ha en förundrans blick? Som är först med att utbrista: ”oj, knopparna slog ut den här våren också!” eller som stannar upp på trottoaren bara för att känna hur gott det luktar när regnet slår mot varm asfalt. Dom människor somåterigen läser en tummad bok: ”bara för att se om det kommer upp några nya perspektiv”Förundrans blick är ingen påklistrad känsla. Det verkar vara en djupt rotad attityd till livet.Och det finns en förundran nedlagd i själva skapelsen. I första mosebok läser vi om hur jorden i begynnelsen var öde och tom, men att Gud skapar både himmel och jord. Han skapar grönska, fröbärande örter och träd. Han skapar ljus och mörker och stjärnorna att lysa över himlavalvet. Och sen står det att Gud ville att vattnet skulle vimla av levande varelser och att fåglar skulle fylla hela himlen och flyga under himlavalvet. Han skapade ett myller av liv!Och till sist skapade han också människan till sin egen avbild och välsignade alltsammans.Text:1 MosMusik:A Thousand Years av Christina Perri & David Hodges med Joel GraingerProducent:Susanna Némethliv@sverigesradio.se

„Určitě bychom uvítali, kdyby měli zájem mladí lidé, doufejme, že se přihlásí," říká k nadcházejícím komunálním volbám starosta Zubří na Žďársku Jiří Havlíček.

Piše Miša Gams, bereta Aleksander Golja in Lidija Hartman. Pisateljica Mirana Likar Bajželj je s pisanjem začela precej pozno – leta 2007 je zmagala na literarnem festivalu Urška, dve leti zatem pa je izšla njena prva kratkoprozna zbirka Sobotne zgodbe in bila nominirana za najboljši prvenec in nagrado fabula. Sledile so še zbirke Sedem besed, Glasovi in Ženska hiša ter roman Pripovedovalec, z njimi pa tudi nominacije za kresnik in dvakrat za Cankarjevo nagrado. Kratkoprozna zbirka V moji omari je zasnovana tako, da po strukturi spominja na roman s posebnimi poglavji, ki delujejo kot kratke zgodbe – nekatere med njimi se vsebinsko nanašajo na sosednje zgodbe, spet druge lahko beremo kot samostojne celote. Med zgodbe je avtorica vnesla povezovalni tekst osrednje protagonistke, ki pred spanjem prebira zbornik zapiskov ameriške modne urednice Nine Garcia o ženskih modnih dodatkih z naslovom Vodnik po stvareh, ki jih mora imeti vsaka ženska s stilom. Branje o modnih muhah jo potegne v vrtinec spominov na obdobje odraščanja v socialistični Jugoslaviji, ko so čevlji z visoko peto in čipkasto spodnje perilo veljali za statusni simbol, mladina pa si je v trgovinah Borovo ogledovala rumene balerinke. Zgodbe o modnih dodatkih, med katerimi se posamezni rekviziti včasih pojavijo kar v prvi osebi, izpričujejo preplet spominov in sanj, socializma in kapitalizma, inspiracij in aspiracij, ki prek materialnih dobrin kažejo na hrepenenje po socialnem sprejemanju in človeški bližini. Tako kot v prejšnjih kratkoproznih zbirkah je Mirana Likar tudi v pričujoči intuitivna in pronicljiva pripovedovalka z veliko posluha za detajle in za tragično usodo junakinj, ki zaradi samovoljne ali celo ambiciozne drže trčijo pri drugih ob zid neprivoščljivosti ali neodobravanja oz. zaničevanja rahlo pretencioznega življenjskega stila. Omara je tako metaforo za nezavedno glavne junakinje, ki skupaj z rdečo šminko, dragulji, broškami, blejzerji, čipkastim spodnjim perilom in najrazličnejšimi čevlji vleče iz nje tudi potlačeno željo po statusnih simbolih, ki jo je bila v obdobju socializma prisiljena potlačiti. Ob tem so njeni predali tudi mesto za “udomačitev” zgodb z različnih lokacij po svetu in iz različnih obdobij novejše zgodovine. Med protagonistkami kratkih zgodb je največ dijakinj in študentk, ki jih preganja trema pred izpitom: v zgodbi Broška glavna junakinja nikakor ne more opraviti zadnjega izpita, čeprav jo profesor nenehno spodbuja, v zgodbi Blejzer spremljamo dijakinjo na popravnem izpitu, ki že vnaprej sluti, da ga ne bo naredila, v zgodbi Gumijasti škornji pa uzremo isto situacijo iz perspektive učiteljice, ki jo prav dijakinjine visoke petke povedejo v lastno siromašno otroštvo, ko je hrepenela po gumijastih čevljih. Namesto da bi ocenjevala učenkino poznavanje kemijskega računstva, premleva njeno obutev, v kateri vidi priložnost za dominacijo nad avtoritetami: “Kako ji mama sploh pusti nosit tako visoke pete! Kje sploh dobi denar za italijanske čevlje! Zanjo domači čevlji niso dovolj dobri. Mladi ne vejo, kako je bilo včasih. Revščina, sama božja revščina! Ampak je država poskrbela, da smo vseeno lahko doštudirali tudi mi s hribov.” In nadaljuje s spomini: “Imela sem eno samo željo. Da bi imela črne gumijaste škornje, s katerimi bi lahko šla obirat jabolka dol v zadrugo, da bi kaj zaslužila. Ali pa da bi šla v njih v šolo ali pa na sankanje. Za obutev je bilo najteže. Drugo smo že naštrikali in sešili, od štipendije sem si kasneje lahko kaj kupila, imela sem socialno in za nadarjene, kadrovsko, za čevlje je bil pa problem.” Protagonistka zgodbe Čipkasto spodnje perilo, ki jo po nedolžnem obtožijo kraje perila in vržejo iz učiteljišča, odrašča v podobnem času in okolju – kljub temu da izhaja iz premožne kmečke družine, si zaradi državno načrtovanega uničenja kmetij in očetovega bankrota ne more zagotoviti solidne eksistence, dokler se ne zaposli v pisarni kmetijske zadruge. Tudi v zgodbi Mokasini: čevlji s polno peto komunisti protagonistkini babici odvzamejo hišo, zato si ne more kupiti kvalitetnih čevljev, ki so sinonim za eksistencialno samozadostnost in prizemljitev. Čeprav so psihološki značaji v zgodbah Mirane Likar podrobno dodelani, pa rdeča nit zgodb občasno umanjka ali pa jo dopolnjuje vzporedna zgodba, ki nekoliko “razvodeni” osnovno pripoved. Tak primer je zgodba Dežni plašč, v kateri spremljamo zgodbo ženske, ki se po dolgih letih izkoriščanja ločuje od moža, vmes pa njeno izpoved “pretrgajo” dokumentarni podatki o izumitelju vojaškega dežnega plašča Thomasu Burberryju, ki je volnena oblačila za vojake izpopolnil z nepremočljivim gabardenom. Zanimiv pripovedni narativ odlikuje tudi zgodbo Čevlji Marry Jones, v kateri se naslovna junakinja po imenu Punčka s teto Mico odpravi na sprehod po mestu, a vsake toliko pripoved vodijo čevlji, ki v prvi osebi opisujejo svoj pogled na ulice in trge. O projiciranju svojih strahov v druge spregovorita zgodbi Srebrni natikači in Enodelne kopalke, ki v kratkih in odsekanih stavkih nakažeta soočenje s strahom pred razgaljenjem in umiranjem. O razvajenosti in potuhi govori zgodba Rdeča šminka, tudi ta nastopa v prvi osebi ednine in predstavlja simbol neučinkovitega spopadanja z obrambnimi mehanizmi. Ko se na koncu knjige osrednja protagonistka zbudi iz spanja, se zave, da jo sanjske zgodbe, ki jim je bila priča, na nek način tolažijo in uravnovešajo: “To noč sem pobrala iz omare tisto, kar bom potrebovala danes ali sem pogrešila včeraj. Kaj to je, ne odločam sama. O tem odloča preteklost. Zaradi nje se pogovarjam, prepiram, si želim, zaradi njih me sanjske zgodbe tolažijo in žalostijo, povezujejo z drugimi, uravnovešajo. Sem, kar sanjam.” Ko skupaj z Mirano Likar zapremo omaro zgodb, ki nas navdajo z najrazličnejšimi prebliski, lahko tudi sami zagotovimo, da smo to, o čemer beremo – sploh ker protagonistke zgodb razgaljajo svoja najbolj intimna občutja, hrepenenja, travme in vizije, v katerih se z lahkoto prepoznamo.

Den här veckan möter vi Clara Vennman, aktiv i Equmeniakyrkan i Göteborg. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. Ur andakten:Jag och min familj bor i ett hus i utkanten av Göteborg. När vi köpte det för 6 år sen, så fick min man ett äppelträd av sitt arbete: ”för att plantera i sin nya trädgård”. Då vi ännu inte hade fått tillträde till vårt hus, så frågade han snällt de tidigare ägarna om han fick gräva ett hål i trädgården och plantera trädet.När vi flyttade in, så var jag förväntansfull på hur trädet skulle se ut. Efter många år i lägenhet, så drömde jag om ett blomstrande träd med mycket frukt. Se då min besvikelse, när det vackra äppelträd jag visualiserat, mest var en brun liten pinne som stack upp ur jorden. ”Hur skulle det här trädet någonsin kunna bära frukt?”Men sedan dess har vi vårdat trädet. Vi har övat på att beskära det och stöttat upp det mot träpålar när det riskerat att rasa samman. Och vi har med stor nyfikenhet väntat på den frukt som ska komma.Text:Hebreerbrevet (6:19)Musik:A Thousand Years av Christina Perri & David Hodges med Joel GraingerProducent:Susanna Némethliv@sverigesradio.se

"Enlarge the place of your tent, stretch your tent curtains wide, do not hold back; lengthen your cords, strengthen your stakes." Isaiah 54:2 Imagine a thriving houseplant, its roots tightly bound within a tiny pot. While it may look healthy, its growth is inevitably stunted. This metaphor reflects the comfort zones we often inhabit in our lives; they are cozy but limit our potential. Just like that plant, if we wish to flourish, we must ask ourselves what routines and habits need expanding this season. Are we courageous enough to embrace a bigger pot, where we can stretch our roots deeper and reach for the sky? Consider the story of Abram, who left his homeland of Ur to venture into the unknown, guided by God's promises. He didn't cling to the familiar; instead, he stepped into a realm of possibilities. This journey reminds us that stepping out of our small pots can lead to divine encounters and growth. As we explore new paths, let us remember Isaiah 54:2, which encourages us to "enlarge the place of your tent," stretching ourselves to embrace God's vast plans for our lives. Acts 16:9-10 says, "During the night, Paul had a vision of a man of Macedonia standing and begging him, “Come over to Macedonia and help us.” After Paul had seen the vision, we got ready at once to leave for Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to preach the gospel to them." In Acts 16:6-10, Paul, guided by the Holy Spirit, was led away from his initial plans toward Macedonia. He expanded his territory, reaching hearts he had never imagined. This divine redirection illustrates that growth often occurs when we remain open to God's leading and are ready to embrace the new experiences He has prepared for us. The invitation is clear: to press on and reach for the new, as Philippians 3:13-14 invites us to forget what lies behind and to strain forward to what lies ahead. Therefore, “Grow space, grow grace.” This slogan reminds us that the more we allow ourselves to be repotted — whether that's through new experiences, relationships, or pursuits — the greater grace we encounter in our lives. Just as a plant absorbs nutrients from fresh soil, we too thrive when we step outside our comfort zones. As the quote says, “Faith grows best on fresh ground,” inviting us to explore beyond the borders we have set. Philippians 3:13-14 says, "Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus." Prayer for the Day!As we embark on this journey of expansion — whether it be through prayer, pursuing new opportunities, or connecting with different people — let us take a moment to seek God's wisdom. May we ask for His guidance to illuminate the areas of our lives that need growth. Heavenly Father, we thank You for the potential within us and ask that You help us stretch our boundaries. Grant us the courage to leave behind the small pots of our comfort zones. May we flourish and grow in Your grace, embracing the new paths You lay before us.  In Jesus name. Amen. 

Ak by vám niekto položil otázku, čo vám prekáža na kresťanstve, na cirkvi, alebo na vašom cirkevnom zbore, čo by ste odpovedali? Určite by sa našlo veľa vecí. Moja otázka je, či sú tie dôvody dostatočné na to, aby človek odišiel zo svojho spoločenstva a začal si hľadať niečo nové? Niekedy sa mi ozaj páčila predstava Kristovej cirkvi nezaťaženej hriechmi minulosti. Začať akoby odznova na zelenej lúke. Ale fakt je ten, že moje hriechy kazia a špinia Kristovu cirkev súčasnosti. Myslím si, že Pán Ježiš to dávno vedel a počítal s tým.

Episode 264 How A Man Appreciates Sensers! Sometimes our view of love can come with a bit of pain. Strangely enough looking back, it actually good to feel, maybe not at the time because I didn't get what I wanted but certainly came with a rush from the experience. There's a few different “pains” I can think of when I look at what I been through. So on social media, there's so much being said regarding the manosphere, masculinity, the manoswamp and terms related to such. I believe there's a lot of things said that's nonsensical and made to be get views by stirring up someone who is easily offended by opposing views. All in all, it's something that makes for an interesting discussion. Appreciation goes a long way with communication in my opinion. People have various ways to show such appreciation. Some more verbal than others and some more physical than others. Overall, being able to show gratitude for other's kindness can go a long way in life but definitely in business. May God and His Universe remove any negative energy you may have stored from reading this. If you dig the episode, click, like, and share on your page. Help build the tribe of healing

This episode explores what it means to eat sanely and joyfully in an age of ultra-processed food, GLP-1 drugs, and endless conflicting nutrition advice — through the lens of Jeff Siegel's “Eating 2.0” and Integral theory. Jeff begins with his own origin story: as a teenager he developed severe anorexia, dropping to a dangerously low weight while locked in a “civil war” between his mind and body. That crisis sent him on a long journey through neuroscience, behavioral biology, Eastern philosophy, and eventually Integral theory as he tried to understand what had gone so wrong in his relationship with food—and how to help others avoid the same fate. Out of this comes a view of eating that is biological and psychological, personal and cultural, individual and systemic all at once. Using the four-quadrant map (inner/outer, individual/collective), Jeff and Keith reframe eating as a fundamentally integral affair. There's the chemistry of food and metabolism (UR), our inner stories and emotions around eating and body image (UL), the cultures and microcultures that tell us what's “normal” or desirable (LL), and the wider food system of industrial agriculture, subsidies, marketing, and access (LR). Any real change, they argue, has to acknowledge all four, rather than reducing the problem to “just your macros,” “just diet culture,” or “just Big Food.” At the heart of the conversation is Jeff's “inner eaters” model: a cast of five parts—Survival, Pleasure, Social, Strategic, and Ecological eaters—each corresponding to different developmental needs and values. The survival eater wants basic nourishment and regulation; the pleasure eater craves enjoyment and immediacy; the social eater longs for belonging and ritual; the strategic eater optimizes for performance and control; and the ecological eater cares about ethics, animals, and the planet. Most of us over-identify with one or two of these and pathologize the rest, which leads to predictable distortions—rigidity, bingeing, moralizing, or burnout. Integral eating means recognizing who's “holding the fork” in any given moment and learning to coordinate these voices under a wiser inner leadership. The episode then locates these inner dynamics inside what Jeff calls “Food 2.0”: a radically novel, engineered food environment built to be irresistible, effortless, and endless. Ultra-processed products, omnipresent snacking, and algorithmic food media are not neutral—they are designed to capture our pleasure eater and overwhelm our survival eater's signals. Against this backdrop, the usual moralizing about “willpower” looks naïve. Instead, Jeff emphasizes designing environments, habits, and inner agreements that make it easier to stay centered in a world of superabundance. GLP-1 drugs (Ozempic, Wegovy, etc.) enter as both a genuine breakthrough and a test of our maturity. For some, these medications finally quiet a lifetime of intrusive food noise; for others, they risk becoming another one-dimensional fix that ignores deeper psychological, cultural, and systemic factors. Jeff walks through how GLP-1s interact with each inner eater, and argues that the real opportunity is to use the pharmacological breathing room to re-educate taste, renegotiate social patterns, and embed tech within a broader upgrade in sleep, stress, movement, and meaning—rather than outsourcing the entire project of eating to pharma.

To the Praise of his Glory Ephesians 1:3-14 by William Klock We'll be looking this morning at Ephesians 1:3-14.  It never ceases to amaze me the riches that come from simply slowing down as I read the Bible.  Over the last several months I've taken multiple occasions to just sit down with Ephesians, to read it slowly, to pay attention, and to be immersed in it.  To pay specific attention to Paul's choice of words and his grammar.  To notice how his choices of words and phrases bring echoes of the Old Testament into his letter and to meditate on how what Paul says here fits into the great biblical story of Israel's God and his people.  As I said last week, in Ephesians Paul gives us the view from the mountaintop.  He shows the whole panorama of the great story of redemption. Verses 3-14 are an invitation into that story.  I think a lot of us—especially if you're a theology nerd—a lot of us reading these verses easily lose the forest for the trees.  We see words like “election” and “predestined” and they stir up modern controversies over whether or not God chooses us or we choose him; over whether God elects specific people for eternal life or if he also positive elects others for damnation.  This is the fuel for heated arguments.  And, I suspect, were Paul to hear these arguments he'd ask something like, “Wait?  That's what you got from what I wrote?”  Because I think the thing that Paul wants us to notice here, what he wants to centre us on, is the praise of God in light of that great story.  In fact, I'd never noticed before, but in Paul's Greek, this whole section is one long sentence proclaiming the mighty and saving deeds of God.  It's like Paul wanted us to hear one, beautiful, heart-stirring musical chord, or get a single amazing impression from a beautifully painted image, but since words and language don't work like that, since you have to express them one at a time, Paul composed this as one, single rush of words meant to move us to praise.  Consider how be begins in verse 3, “Blessed be God, the Father of our Lord Jesus, the Messiah.”  Blessed be God.  It's not meant to just be a factual statement that God is blessed.  To really get the sense of it in English it might be better to say, “Let us bless God.”  Because, Brothers and Sisters, that's Paul's real point here. Pagans praised their gods.  But Jews did something more: they blessed the God of Israel.  In fact, the word that Paul uses is one that for the Greeks simply meant to speak good of someone, but the Jews gave it a much fuller and deeper meaning to translate their Hebrew words for bless and blessing.  To understand this takes us all the way back to the beginning of the story.  When God created the world and filled it with life, he blessed that life that it might be fruitful, that it might multiply, and that it might fill the earth.  The fish, the birds, and eventually the man and the woman.  God blessed them.  And in the Hebrew worldview, it was God's blessing that brought human flourishing and that provided all that is good in creation.  And so, in return, the Jews blessed God.  Obviously, human beings don't have the ability to grant the goodness and flourishing with our blessings that God can with his, and so to bless God took the form of praise and thanksgiving for his goodness, for his faithfulness, and most of all for his mighty and saving deeds in history.  And all that is summed up in those words, “blessed be God”.  To this day, Jewish prayer begins with the words Barukh Attah Adonai Eloheinu Melekh ha-Olam, Blessed art thou, O Lord our God, King of the universe.  But then when we unpack it, what we find is that at the heart of blessing God is telling his story, not just to rehearse for ourselves his greatness, but to proclaim it to everyone else.  Read through the Old Testament and you see God's people praising him first and foremost by telling the story of his mighty deeds: sometimes what he'd done for the person giving the praise, but more often for his creation and his providence, and most of all for his recuse of Israel from their Egyptian slavery.  The Exodus was the great act of God in history that showed his blessing and for which his people blessed him in return. When the people of Israel gathered together, they rehearsed what God had done, whether it was Israelites in the days of David, sitting around campfires and hearing those stories faithfully passed down from generation to generation, or the people of Paul's day reading the scriptures in the synagogue, they told the mighty deeds of God as an act of praise.  Brothers and Sisters, the same goes for us.  I suspect a lot of us hardly ever think of it this way.  We read the Bible for knowledge.  We read the Bible to win arguments.  We read the Bible because we know it's a good thing to do or because we hope God will speak to us.  But, first and foremost, we read the Bible—in public worship and in private worship—to rehearse the mighty and saving deeds of God as an act of praise and as a call to praise.  Just read the psalms and see how they proclaim the great story as an act of praise and a means of blessing God.  The modern trend in worship, I think, gets this precisely backward.  We begin our services with praise—I often hear people say it's to get us in the right frame of mind—and then we hear scripture, then we receive the Lord's Supper.  The biblical model is the other way round: To read and to hear scripture is the first act of praise, everything else follows in response.  Thomas Cranmer, the architect of our liturgy, understood this.  In Morning and Evening Prayer, we first hear the scriptures, and then we sing the canticles (which are themselves mostly scripture).  At the Communion, we hear the scriptures, we receive the Lord's Supper, and after all that, we sing the Gloria in praise and thanksgiving.  So this is what Paul's getting at in verse 3: “Blessed be God, the Father of our Lord Jesus the Messiah! He has blessed us in the Messiah with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms.” But why?  Because, in Jesus, God has already blessed us.  With what?  With every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms.  That means, with the life of the Spirit, that foretaste of the age to come and the day when we, ourselves, will be resurrected to life with God just as Jesus has been.  Because, in Jesus and the Spirit, God has blessed us by making us heaven-on-earth people.  Through Jesus and the Spirit, God has begun the work of bringing heaven and earth, God and man, separated by sin, back together—in us. But Paul doesn't just leave it at that.  He tells the Jesus story, the church story, but he does it in a way that echoes the bigger story all the way back to creation.  He never mentions Adam or Abraham, the Exodus or the Exile.  Instead, he describes what God has done for us in the Messiah using the words and phrases that Israel typically used to tell those stories. Now, because this whole passage is one long sentence and because it's clear Paul wants us to hear it sort of like a music chord, let me read through the whole thing in one go starting with verse 4.  Here's what he writes: “He chose us in him before the world was made, so as to be holy and without blemish before him.  In love, he foreordained us for himself, to be adopted as sons [and daughters] through Jesus the Messiah, according to the purpose of his will.  So that the glory of his grace, the grace he poured out on us in his beloved one, might receive its due praise.  In [the Messiah], through his blood, we have deliverance—the forgiveness of sins, through the riches of his grace, which he has lavished on us.  With all wisdom and insight he has made known to us the mystery of his purpose, just he wanted it to be and set it forward in him as a blueprint for when the time was ripe.  His plan was to sum up the whole cosmos in the Messiah, everything in heaven and on earth in him.  In him we have received the inheritance.  We were foreordained to this, according to the intention of the one who does all things in accordance with the counsel of his purpose.  This was so that we, we who first hoped in the Messiah, might live for the praise of his glory.  In him you too, who heard the word of truth, the good news of your salvation, and believed it—in him you were marked out with the Spirit of promise, the Holy One.  The Spirit is the guarantee of our inheritance, until the time when the people who are God's special possession are finally reclaimed and freed.  This, too, is for the praise of his glory.” So Paul begins with the language of having been chosen.  It's almost like he's rehearsing the Passover story.  Being chosen resonated with the Jews.  Their father, Abraha, had been chosen and called from the paganism of Ur.  In the Exodus, the Lord had declared Israel to be his chosen.  Paul wants that mighty act of God's goodness and mercy to echo into our story—to hear the Lord declare to Pharaoh that Israel was his beloved, his firstborn son.  Paul writes in verse 5 that we've been marked out as sons and daughters of the Father because of his love for us—love poured out in Jesus, love poured out at the cross as he shed his blood—blood that has marked us out as holy and washed us clean of sin.  Blood that has united us with Jesus, his son, and made us his children by adoption. And the language of deliverance and redemption in verse 7.  This is what Paul's getting at.  Again, his choice of words is important.  The word he uses is the one used most often in the Greek translation of the Old Testament to refer to the deliverance, the redemption of his people from Egypt.  It's a word that often carries the idea of buying a slave so that he can be set free and in the Bible it very often and more specifically recalls the image of Israel being redeemed from Pharaoh's slave market and being set free by God—a freedom through which Israel was meant to proclaim and to live out God's amazing and redeeming grace.  But there's also an echo of Israel's long-hoped for deliverance from exile—an exile the people were still living out when Jesus was born.  And, unlike the Exodus, the exile was the result of Israel's sins.  And so the prophets, like Isaiah, had spoken of a new exodus, a deliverance from exile, but this time round it would be an exodus that had to address, that had to deal with Israel's sins. And that's why Paul writes of blood.  The blood of the Passover lamb was for the purification of the people.  Somehow blood would have to be shed to purify Israel and to and the long exile, so they could once again live in his holy presence and so that they could once again be fit to serve his purpose as priests and stewards of his temple.  This is why Jesus so often did things that echoed the Passover theme.  He was calling to mind this doubled tradition: The first exodus, deliverance from slavery, but also the promised and hoped-for second exodus in which God would somehow redeem his people from their sins and from the effects of that sin.  So when Paul, in verses 7 and 8, writes of the blood through which we have deliverance and the forgiveness of sins, when he writes of the riches of God's grace and how it's been lavished so richly on us, he wants us to see these layers of the great story: of creation, of exodus, of exile, of forgiveness, of redemption.  He wants us to see the glorious cross of Jesus, but he also wants us to see how the whole story has been one act after another, one great drama unfolding through history that shows us who God is, that reveals his grace and mercy, his goodness and faithfulness that then find their full fruit, that explode in one great act of glory in the events of the new exodus.  All these notes coming together a beautiful, harmonious chord. Why?  Because Paul knew that without this, we're prone to forgetting our vocation, just as Israel had.  That's why Paul goes on to talk about God making known the secret of his purpose—the great mystery—with all wisdom and insight.  In Paul's day the Jews—many of them at any rate—associated the idea of torah—of Gods' law—with the idea of God's divine wisdom.  This fusion of torah and wisdom was God's great design for life and for flourishing and not just that, but for life and flourishing that would cause his people to give him glory.  Brothers and Sisters, the gospel isn't just the good news that we've been forgiven and promised eternal life.  The gospel is also about vocation—a vocation that goes all the way back to Israel—even to Adam and Eve.  It's about being freed from our bondage to sin and death so that we might live to the glory of God as heaven-on-earth people, as the firstfruits of his new creation, as pockets of the age to come in the here and now. And Paul reminds us in verse 10 that this was God's plan, his blueprint all along, one that would be fulfilled in the “fullness of time”—when the time was right.  None of it was an accident.  What we so often take in as disconnected Bible stories, was all along one great drama, setting the scene, establishing the plot, so that at the cross and the empty tomb, God could reveal his glory by leading his people in a new exodus.  As Paul puts it here, the plan was to sum up the whole cosmos in the Messiah—everything in heaven and on earth in him.  Restoring the creation we see in Genesis, where heaven and earth and God and man were one.  Bringing to fruition the image evoked by the tabernacle at the end of Exodus: of God once gain dwelling in the midst of his redeemed people.  That image at the end of Exodus in which the people complete the construction of the tabernacle and the shekinah, the great cloud of God's glory, descends to fill it is one of the  most powerful images in all of scripture—looking back to how things are supposed to be and looking forward to a day when human beings really are fully restored to live in God's presence—no veil, no sacrifices, just life in his awesome presence.  This is what Paul describes as an act of praise, the climax of the great story, a new exodus, a Jesus-shaped Passover—all now to be at the heart of Christian praise. But God's presence entering the tabernacle wasn't the end of the story.  Remember, once God had set apart his people and made them holy and taken up his presence in their midst, they were ready for him to lead them into the promised land—to receive the inheritance that he had promised to Abraham.  And in verses 11-14 Paul shows us how life in Jesus and the Spirit is the realisation of what that was pointing to all along.  Psalm 2, for example, was pointing this way all along.  That's the psalm where God says, “You are my son and today I have begotten you.  Ask of me and I will make the nations your heritage and the ends of the earth your inheritance.”  The promise land and the promise of it was always pointing to something greater—to God's claim on all of creation, on all the nations, on all the peoples.  The story proclaims: someday the entire earth will be God's holy land. And here in Ephesians, Paul is saying that in Jesus and the Spirit, God has now given us—given those who are in the Messiah—this inheritance.  “Everything belongs to you,” he says in First Corinthians.  And here he says that the gift of the Holy Spirit, the indwelling, the tabernacling presence of God in us is the earnest, the down payment, the guarantee of the full promised inheritance.  Sometimes it seems like we think of the Holy Spirit in every way except for the very thing Paul tells us over and over that he represents.  Brothers and Sisters, the gift of the Spirit is the guarantee that what Jesus began when he rose from the grave, he will surely one day finish.  It's the guarantee that God's work of renewal and new creation in Jesus will, without a doubt, put a final end to sin, to sorrow, to corruption, to decay, and even to death itself.  It is the guarantee that the reunion of God and man that began when God took up his residence in the tabernacle, and that went a step further at Pentecost when he took up his residence in his people, will be fulfilled in the ultimate tabernacle of a new heaven and earth.  It's the guarantee that that the fellowship between God and human beings in the garden at the very beginning of the story will also be the end. It's easy to forget.  As Paul writes in Romans, the whole world is groaning under the weight of our mismanagement.  We still live with the effects of sin and corruption, of decay and death.  Like the Israelites when the spies returned from Canaan and warned that there were giants in the land and heavily fortified cities.  They gave up.  They became overwhelmed.  They forgot the promise.  They begged Moses to take them back to Egypt.  The things they feared were no joke.  But they forgot that the God who was with them is the God will one day dill the whole earth with his glory.  The tabernacle—God's presence with them—was meant to remind them of that truth and that inheritance.  And, Brothers and Sisters, the Spirit in us serves the same function.  In him we have the full title deed, even if we don't yet have the whole earth.  But that title deed, that earnest, that guarantee has been given to us by the Father to empower us to go out as his gospel people—to be heaven on earth, to bring his presence into the darkness, to challenge the corrupted principalities and powers of the old age, and to bring the light and life of new creation into the old.  And all, Paul finishes, the final notes in the chord, “is for the praise of his glory”. Brothers and Sisters, to live in assurance and hope of God's promise of life is to live a life of praise.  It's to live a life that blesses God and that makes his glory known in the earth.  That means that if we want to know what the life of the Christian and what he life of the church should look like, maybe we should work backward from that goal.  We should be asking ourselves what it is that we can do that makes God's glory known.  Asking ourselves what we can do that shows the world our sure and certain hope in the inheritance—the new creation—in which we live.  Not running back to Egypt in fear, but ready to march around Jericho and to blow our gospel trumpets and trust God to do what he's promised.  I think if we work backwards from the goal of filling the earth with the knowledge of the glory of God, it becomes a lot easier to ask whether what we do, what we value, what we invest in, how we treat others displays our hope in God's kingdom to the world around us.  So, Brothers and Sisters, let us bless God, the Father of our Lord Jesus, the Messiah.  Let our lives be one great shout of praise.  Rehearse and proclaim the great story of redemption that proclaims his glory.  And let this Passover-shaped, this cross-shaped, story of redemption and renewal transform you so that you—that we all—might live for the purpose of filling the earth with the knowledge of the glory of God—to the praise of his glory. Let's pray: Almighty God, Father of our Lord Jesus, the Messiah, through whose blood you have forgiven our sins, made us sons and daughters by adoption, and brought us into the great drama of your people, shape us, we pray, with your story.  Fill us with faith and assurance in the knowledge that, having plunged us into your Spirit, you have given us assurance of the promised inheritance that we might live faithfully in hope and to the praise of your glory.  Amen.

Enneagram 2.0 on a Tuesday? You heard that right! Our hosts have some exciting news to share!In this very special episode, Urânio Paes and Beatrice Chestnut greet Nisha Advani, Enneagram coach and corporate consultant. In a heartfelt conversation, Nisha share meaningful insights on the enneagram, carreer and personal journey. Learn more about her:Born and grew up in Calcutta, India. Was middle daughter of 4 children. Went to Catholic school for 13 years and was active in many extra-curricular activities. Came alone to the USA at age 17 as a Rotary exchange student; attended senior year at a local public school, and lived with a Caucasion family for a year. Town had 5,000 people and almost everyone recognized me as "their" exchange student (my birth city had over 13 million at that time and I was a nonentity.) Came to USA to study psychology and in my path, after a few detours, found social/organizational psych which was a perfect fit. Always knew i had to be very well qualified and differentiated as in India life can be fiercely competitive and it is a numbers game as well. Got an MBA to support employability, worked in NYC for some years in corporate, got my green card through horrendous circumstances, and decided to go back to school for psych. Got married to a man who was well settled in India while I was working on my doctorate. He was very supportive of my finishing my studies. Changed my dissertation topic to do a more interesting cross-cultural study on conflict resolution and spent time in India collecting data. Was too difficult to do my research in India and eventually I returned alone to NYC. Had our first child alone while there and fortunately he got his green card soon after I graduated. Have lived in CA since graduation. Worked in OD and LD in different companies for almost 20 years and about 10 years ago started my own practice as a leadership coach and OD consultant. Volunteer in a South Asian domestic violence organization. Do mindfulness meditation and yoga a few times/weeks. Have 2 children, 1 little grandchild whom I learn from continuously including with my Enneagram lens, and am in close touch with my siblings, relatives, dear friends over the years. Grateful to be living in the Bay Area. Life is abundant!Like learning about the Enneagram from Bea and Uranio?

Today as we study Exodus 3, we'll see that from a human perspective, Moses' exile looked like the end of the line for him; and yet it was part of God's plan for Moses, and ultimately the Lord's people. Join us for this encouraging study in God's power, grace and redemption! DISCUSSION AND STUDY QUESTIONS: 1.    How old is Moses in verse 1? How old was Abraham when the Lord called him from Ur? What does this tell us about God's plans for the wise and elderly people of our world?  2.    What was Moses doing for work in verse 1? How did the Egyptians view shepherds in Genesis 46:34? What do you think it would have been like doing something viewed this way by the surrounding culture?  3.    What is "Horeb" in verse 3?  4.    How did the Lord appear to Moses in verse 2? Where are some other places that God is referred to in this way? What does this represent? 5.    What did the podcasts suggest as to possible reasons that God has created so much fire in this universe?   6.    What was Moses' response to the Angel of the Lord in verse 6?  7.    What was the Lord aware of in verse 7? How might this encourage us when we go through difficulties in our own lives?  8.    In verse 8, the Lord tells Moses that He is going to bring His people to the Promised Land. According to verse 8, who was dwelling there at this time? What did that mean for Moses and the people?  9.    What was the underlying issue for Moses when he protests God's call in verse 11?  10.    What did Moses need to know, in verse 12, in order to go forward in obedience to God?  11.    What does the name "I am who I am" mean in verse 13? What did the podcast say as to why some people pronounce the name "Yahweh" as "Jehovah"?  12.    Overall, what was the Lord's mandate to Moses? In what ways is this like His mandate for our lives today?  Check out our Bible Study Guide on the Key Chapters of Genesis! Available on Amazon just in time for the Genesis relaunch in January!

V evropskem tednu preprečevanja raka materničnega vratu smo v tokratnem Studiu ob 17-ih ugotavljali, kako blizu smo morebitnemu izkoreninjenju te vrste raka, saj je edina, za katero imamo učinkovito cepivo. Pogledali bomo, kako smo sicer uspešni pri obvladovanju bremena raka, saj je pojavnost tega pri nas precej pogostejša od povprečja v Evropski uniji, večja je tudi stopnja umrljivosti. Govorili bomo o dostopnosti najnovejših zdravil in novih tehnologij ter uvajanju novih presejalnih programov. Gostje: dr. Urška Ivanuš, Onkološki inštitut, predsednica Zveze slovenskih društev za boj proti raku; dr. Janja Ocvirk, strokovna direktorica Onkološkega inštituta; dr. Milica Stefanović, Pediatrična klinika Univerzitetni klinični center Ljubljana; Tanja Španić, predsednica Europa Donna Slovenija. Avtorica oddaje Helena Lovinčič.

In the Fathers Era, we see God call Abram out of the city of Ur. He calls him to leave everything behind and embark on a journey to a land that God will show him. More than that, He calls him with the promises of the Abrahamic Covenant… promises of land, seed, and blessing to the world. In the promised Land, Abram's faith is counted to him as righteousness. Soon we witness the name change from Abram to Abraham, signifying a new identity for this father of many.Bible ReadingsGenesis 12:1-3Genesis 15:1-6Romans 4:1-8Genesis 17:1-8Support the showRead along with us in the Bible Brief App!

What if the most important steps you'll ever take are the ones you take before you can see the destination? We continue in Hebrews chapter 11 and walk with Abraham and Sarah through long delays, fragile moments, and surprising mercy to learn how trust grows when sight fails. Abraham leaves home without a map and lives in tents, aiming his life toward a city with foundations that God himself designed. Sarah believes past biology and the tyranny of time, not because she felt strong, but because she judged the Promiser faithful. Their story exposes a deeper truth: faith does not deny reality; it reads reality through God's reliability.We talk about waiting as a crucible that clarifies what we actually trust. When outcomes stall, counterfeit foundations crumble. Hebrews calls us strangers and exiles, and that identity reshapes how we live—citizens of heaven serving as ambassadors on earth. That doesn't mean retreat; it means presence with purpose. You can hold power more lightly, love people more deeply, and endure hardship with meaning when your horizon is the new Jerusalem, not the nearest shortcut. We also face the sobering possibility of looking back to “Ur,” back to familiar securities that cannot satisfy. Once you've tasted the better country, going back won't make you whole.If your faith feels uneven, you're not alone. Abraham lied. Sarah laughed. Yet they kept walking, and God kept working. Their imperfect steps point us toward a faithful Builder who prepares a place and sustains a people. Let this conversation steady your footing: take the next obedient step, let waiting deepen your roots, and set your eyes on the city God is building.

Heretici islámu hledající domov mezi brutálními režimy. Tak by se dala popsat současná situace Jezídů, náboženské menšiny žijící po staletí na území dnešního Blízkého východu. Vyhladit je chtěl Saddám Husajn i Islámský stát, Jezídové se ale hlavně na území nynějšího Iráku drží doteď. „Určité radikální proudy, i v současném islámském světě, o nich mluví jako o bývalých muslimech, kteří sklouzli k herezi,“ říká v Hovorech sociolog a autor knihy Jezídové na útěku Karel Černý.

SHOW 12-29-25 CBS EYE ON THE WORLD WITH JOHN BATCHELOR UR THE PRINCESS'S MUSEUM AT THE DAWN OF HISTORY Colleague Moudhy Al-Rashid. Moudhy Al-Rashidintroduces Ennigaldi-Nanna, a princess and high priestess of the moon god in the ancient city of Ur. Excavators discovered a chamber in her palace containing carefully arranged artifacts from eras much older than her own, effectively serving as a museum. A clay cylinder found there acted as a museum label, preserving the history of ancient kings to lend legitimacy to her father, King Nabonidus, and his dynasty. NUMBER 1 THE STORIES TOLD BY MESOPOTAMIAN BRICKS Colleague Moudhy Al-Rashid. Moudhy Al-Rashidexplains how millions of mud bricks reveal the history of ancient Mesopotamia, from the construction of massive temples to the 9-kilometer wall of Uruk. These bricks were often stamped with the names of kings to ensure their deeds were known to the gods. Beyond royal propaganda, bricks preserve intimate moments, such as the accidental paw prints of dogs or footprints of children left while the clay dried in the sun. NUMBER 2 GILGAMESH AND THE BIRTH OF WRITTEN LEGEND Colleague Moudhy Al-Rashid. Al-Rashid discusses Cuneiform, a writing system used for over 3,000 years to record languages like Sumerian and Akkadian. She details the Epic of Gilgamesh, a tale of a tyrannical king who finds wisdom and friendship with the wild man Enkidu. While Gilgamesh was likely a real historical figure, his story evolved into high poetry about mortality and leadership. The segment notes that kingship was believed to have descended from heaven. NUMBER 3 HOMEWORK AND HEARTACHE IN ANCIENT SCHOOLS Colleague Moudhy Al-Rashid. Excavations of a "schoolhouse" in Nippur revealed thousands of practice tablets, showing the messy first attempts of children learning to write. These artifacts include literary accounts of school life, complaints about food, and even teeth marks from frustrated students. The curriculum was rigorous, covering literacy and advanced mathematics like geometry, which was essential for future scribes to calculate field yields and manage the bureaucracy. NUMBER 4 THE ALCOHOLIC TYRANTS OF THE WEST Colleague Professor James Romm. James Romm introduces Syracuse as a dominant power in the 4th century BCE under the rule of Dionysius the Elder, who rose from clerk to autocrat. Dionysius fortified the city's geography to create a secure military base and adopted the Persian custom of polygamy, marrying two women on the same day. This created a rivalrous, "unhappy family" dynamic in a court notorious for heavy drinking and "Syracusan tables" of excess. NUMBER 5 PLATO'S FAILED FIRST MISSION TO SICILY Colleague Professor James Romm. Professor Romm details Plato's background, including his connection to the Thirty Tyrants in Athens and his philosophy of "forms." Plato was invited to Syracuse by Dion, who hoped the philosopher could reform the tyrant Dionysius the Elder. However, this first visit was a disaster; Plato attempted to lecture the ruler on ethics and moral behavior, resulting in the philosopher being dismissed from the court with dishonor. NUMBER 6 THE BANISHMENT OF DION Colleague Professor James Romm. Plato returned to Syracuse to tutor Dionysius the Younger, hoping to create an enlightened monarch, but found a court defined by drunkenness and immaturity. The experiment failed when Dion, Plato's ally, sent a letter to Carthage that the tyrant interpreted as treason. Dionysiusbanished Dion and kept Plato under a form of house arrest to maintain the appearance of an alliance, while the tyrant solidified his power. NUMBER 7 A PHILOSOPHER OBSERVES A COMING WAR Colleague Professor James Romm. At the Olympic Games, Plato met the exiled Dion and learned that the tyrant had confiscated Dion's property and given his wife to another man. Despite the growing tension, Plato visited Syracuse a third time in 361 BCE to attempt reconciliation. Romm argues that Plato's harsh description of the "tyrannical man" in The Republic was directly inspired by his personal observations of living under the roof of the Syracusan tyrant. NUMBER 8 REVOLUTION, ASSASSINATION, AND CHAOS Colleague Professor James Romm. Dion launched an invasion to liberate Syracuse, but the revolution unleashed chaotic populist passions he could not control. After ordering the assassination of a rival, Dion fell into a depression and was eventually assassinated by a faction of his own army. Rommnotes that ancient historians, including Plutarch, largely protected Dion's reputation to safeguard the prestige of Plato's Academy, despite Dion's failure to become a true philosopher king. NUMBER 9 THE TYRANT WHO BECAME A SCHOOLTEACHER Colleague Professor James Romm. Professor James Romm discusses the surprising fate of Dionysius II, the tyrant of Syracuse. After the Corinthian leader Timoleonarrived to liberate the city, Dionysius surrendered and was allowed to retire to Corinth rather than facing execution. There, the former absolute ruler became a music teacher, leading to the proverb "Dionysius is in Corinth," a saying used for centuries to describe the unpredictability of fortune and the fall of the powerful. NUMBER 10 PHILOSOPHER KINGS AND THE RIVER OF HEEDLESSNESS Colleague Professor James Romm. James Romm explores Plato's Republic, arguing that philosophers make the best kings because they perceive the true "forms" of justice rather than earthly shadows. The discussion turns to the "Myth of Er," a story of the afterlife where souls travel for a thousand years before choosing their next life. Plato warns that drinking too deeply from the River of Heedlessnesserases memory, whereas philosophers strive to recall the forms. NUMBER 11 PLATO'S LETTERS AND THE WHITEWASHING OF DION Colleague Professor James Romm. The conversation examines Plato's thirteen letters, specifically the five Romm believes are genuine regarding the Syracuse affair. Platoviewed himself as a wise lawgiver capable of reforming a tyrant, though he was naive about practical politics. In the seventh letter, Plato attempts to rehabilitate the reputation of his associate Dion, spinning the narrative to portray Dion as a virtuous victim of evil rather than admitting his political failures. NUMBER 12 THE RETURN OF THE NOBLE MONARCH Colleague Gregory Copley. Gregory Copley argues that the world has reached "peak republicanism," where republics have become inefficient political battlegrounds. He defines nobility not as a class structure, but as a quality of honorable leadership that embodies the state's values. Copley suggests modern monarchies, like that of King Charles III, are reinvigorating this role by acting as apolitical symbols of unity and diplomacy, unlike elected leaders who only represent their voters. NUMBER 13 THE DANGERS OF TRANSACTIONAL NATIONALISM Colleague Gregory Copley. Copley warns that suppression in republics often leads to uncontrollable demands for liberty, citing the collapse of the Shah's Iran and the USSR. He distinguishes between "tribal nationalism," based on shared history, and "state nationalism," which is often transactional. Copley argues that transactional systems eventually fail because the state runs out of resources to trade for support, leading to corruption and the potential fracturing of society. NUMBER 14 CONSTITUTIONS, BELIEF, AND THE EMPIRE Colleague Gregory Copley. Copley describes the US Constitution as the "de facto crown" holding the American empire together, though it faces challenges from populist movements. He argues that a "faith-based electorate" or a "belief in beliefs" is essential for social unity, noting that when people stop believing in God, they will believe in anything. Monarchy utilizes mysticism and continuity to maintain this unity, a quality difficult for republics to replicate. NUMBER 15 THE REASSERTION OF ANCIENT EMPIRES Colleague Gregory Copley. Copley contends that China is reasserting its identity as an empire, with the Communist Party seeking legitimacy by connecting with imperial history despite previous rejections of the past. Similarly, he views Vladimir Putin as a nationalist attempting to restore the memory and grandeur of the Russian Empire. The segment concludes by suggesting the US might "lease" the symbolic nobility of King Charles III during state visits to borrow necessary leadership prestige. NUMBER 16

PREVIEW: MOUDHY AL-RASHID ON THE ANCIENT PRINTING PRESS OF UR Colleague Moudhy Al-Rashid. Author Moudhy Al-Rashid discusses her book Between Two Rivers, describing how ancient Mesopotamians used stamped bricks as an early "printing press." At the Great Ziggurat of Ur, builders efficiently stamped thousands of bricks with King Ur-Nammu's name and dedications to the moon god, preserving messages for millennia. 1932 LION GATE BABYLON
