History Speaks the Spirit of Justice / Jemar Tisby 46:20

9d ago46:20

46:20

History reveals a lot of things about human nature: our innate drive towards progress, discovery, relationship, community. Often motivated by a drive to feel safe and flourish.

Unity in Diversity, Empathic Wisdom / Christy Vines 56:20

16d ago56:20

56:20

In our American quest for a more perfect union, we often mistake unity for sameness. We mistake unity for conformity.

Baseball as a Road to God / John Sexton 1:17:20

21d ago1:17:20

1:17:20

To true fans, baseball is so much more than a sport. Some call it the perfect game. Some see it as a field of dreams. A portal to another dimension. Some see it as a road to God. Others—”heathen” we might call them—find the game unutterably boring. Too confusing, too long, too nit-picky about rules. In this episode, Yankee fan John Sexton (Presiden…

Love's Braided Dance / Norman Wirzba 1:04:53

1M ago1:04:53

1:04:53

Problem-solving the crises of the modern world is often characterized by an economy and architecture of exploitation and instrumentalization, viewing relationships as transactional, efficient, and calculative.

Black Motherhood: Love & Resistance / Kelly Brown Douglas 27:34

4M ago27:34

27:34

“Black motherhood has consistently been a contested space. Black women have just fought for their rights to be.

Protests dominate the news. And while we’re familiar with freedom of speech, free exercise of religion, and freedom of the press—what about the freedom of assembly?

Desire: How Avarice and Acquisition Distort Our Longing for the Sacred / Micheal O'Siadhail 53:19

7M ago53:19

53:19

"Having lost a sense of the sacred, the only thing we want is acquisitiveness—more of everything. How can we break this vicious cycle of avarice? It seems to me that the only way we can possibly reign this in on ourselves is some retrieval of the sense of the sacred, something beyond ourselves. And I think that relearning humility—realizing that a …
