Stephen Lloyd-Moffett, professor of Religious Studies at California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo, CA, is also a campus moderator for the Veritas Forum, a non-profit organization that seeks to help students on college campuses explore truth in dialogue across religious beliefs. On today's episode, Tim, Rick and Stephen consider: What makes for a good moderator when disagreement pops up? And how do you keep the relationship in tact when a pointed and meaningful disagreement occurs? They discuss the importance of building muscle for inquiry and learning how to use educational environments to challenge and strengthen faith convictions. Tim and Rick also ask Stephen about the perceptions of evangelicals on the campus.Show notes and a full transcript are available.

There's no denying that American men are struggling. Depression, drug use, and suicide are on the rise, and there are plenty of voices on the far right eager to blame feminists, the LGBT movement, #MeToo, and the left in general. They say our culture has made traditionally masculine traits "toxic" and stolen from men the one thing they need most—respect. David French explains to Skye Jethani why this diagnosis is wrong. He argues that the real crisis isn't that men lack respect, but that they lack "virtuous purpose." Plus, French and Jethani revisit the war in Ukraine one year after the Russian invasion. While the Biden Administration's support for Ukraine has gotten stronger, overall American support has weakened. What does that mean, and how will this conflict eventually end?   Sponsor 0:00 - Sponsor: Veritas Forum Listen to The Veritas Forum podcast today at bit.ly/veritasholypost   1:04 - Theme Song   3:00 - Men need purpose more than respect https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/12/opinion/men-purpose-respect.html   Sponsor 27:36 - Miracle Brand trymiracle.com/HOLYPOST   Save over 40% and be sure to use our promo code HOLYPOST at checkout to SAVE even more AND  get 3 FREE TOWELS!   28:42 - Sponsor Hiya Health hiyahealth.com/HOLYPOST to receive 50% off your first order. 29:47 - The crisis of masculinity   34:20 - Christianity and consumerism 43:00 The War in Ukraine   1:02:22 Next Presidential election   1:08:20 - End Credits   Links mentioned in interview   https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/12/opinion/men-purpose-respect.html    Other resources: David French: https://twitter.com/DavidAFrench    https://www.holypost.com/   Support us and find premium content by going to https://www.patreon.com/holypost   The Holy Post is supported by our listeners.

It has been the talk of everyone for over a week now...these balloons...what are they, from where did they originate, and are we safe? Most feel that we aren't getting all the answers we need. On today's program, retired Air Force Col. Brian Searcy shares from both his vast military experience, and also from his organization (The Paratus Group) that specializes in situational awareness. Also in this episode, Bob Shettler shares the news of the return of the Veritas Forum to Gainesville's Reitz Union.

Dr. Chawkat Moucarry, an Arab Christian from Syria, developed a passion from a young age to build bridges of understanding between Christians and Muslims. His work with university student ministries, World Vision International, and Veritas Forum in France—where he lives and serves today—has all been focused on promoting interfaith dialogue built on relationship. Chawkat is the author of several books that explore these topics, including his most recent, "Islam on Trial: Globalization, Islamism, and Christianity." In part two of his conversation with Chris, they discuss Chawkat's new book, which provides non-Muslims with a foundation for understanding Muslim faith and practice, and highlights shared common ground between Christianity and Islam. They also touch on the nuanced religious landscape of France, where Chawkat lives and serves.

Thoughtful might not be the first word that comes to mind as you think of your atheist friends, but chances are, the more you talk to them about what they believe and why, you will discover that it isn't a conclusion they've arrived at nonchalantly. In today's episode, we kick off a multi-part series on some of the most popular world religions and how we as Christians can best engage with and share the Gospel with those of different beliefs. Resources mentioned in today's episode are: The Reason For God: Belief in an Age of Skepticism by Timothy Keller, The Case for a Creator: A Journalist Investigates Scientific Evidence That points Toward God by Lee Strobel, Stand to Reason at www.str.org, Cross Examined at crossexamined.org, The Veritas Forum at veritas.org.

Everyone is suddenly talking about Christian nationalism. Some on the political right are embracing the label, while others on the political left are condemning it. Bart Barber, the new president of the Southern Baptist Convention, was interviewed on 60 Minutes this week to explain why Christian nationalism is fundamentally anti-Baptist. But Al Mohler, another influential SBC leader, is less eager to condemn Christian nationalism and takes a more nuanced view. Mohler also says any Christian who doesn't vote for the Republican Party is being “unfaithful to God.” The Holy Post crew unpacks his argument.  Then, Skye interviews Georgetown professor, Paul D. Miller, about his new book, “The Religion of American Greatness: What's Wrong with Christian Nationalism.” Miller defines Christian nationalism historically, and explains why it is both anti-American and anti-Christian.

Does “the good life” mean that everything in your life is good? For the final episode of our first season, we talk with Yale theologian Dr. Miroslav Volf about the “why” of living — when we're faced with sorrow and suffering, what keeps us going? Mirsolav helps us explore the tensions between joy and sorrow, justice and mercy, and invites us to consider how having a “why” to life could change us. Like what you heard?

What happens when you try to solve for something that can't be solved—like what should you do with your life? Can you find joy even when there's not an answer? In today's episode, we talk about curiosity and awe with Dr. Satyan Devadoss, a math professor at the University of San Diego. Satyan *loves* math, but not because it's useful, or a good problem-solving tool. In fact, he loves math because it leads to many more UNsolved problems. Most of Satyan's time as a mathematician is spent on difficult, “wicked” problems, and he says that we can't—and sometimes shouldn't—solve everything. Like what you heard?

We know a lot about what makes us healthier. But what about what makes us happier? In this episode, we interview Dr. Tyler VanderWeele, an epidemiologist and the Director of the Human Flourishing Program at Harvard University. He and his research team are working towards identifying the behaviors that make our lives better — not just physically, but emotionally, mentally, and relationally, too. Our conversation centers around one of his data's main findings: regularly attending religious services can help you live seven years longer. Like what you heard?

Daryl Davis didn't study conflict resolution or communications in any formal way in a classroom or lecture hall. But, through his extensive travels — first, as the son of diplomats, and then, as a jazz musician — Daryl has become an expert when it comes to cross-cultural communication. Over the past 40 years, Daryl, a Black man, has used his skills to build surprising friendships with white supremacists. So far, over 200 people have left the KKK and denounced its ideology as a result of their friendship with him. In this episode, Daryl shares about his life, his music, and how he found himself doing what he does now. He says it all ties into this one question: How can you hate me when you don't even know me?
