Christian Nationalists and Trump

Wednesday, July 6, 2022 • Duration 27:14

I look closer at this issue of the Evangelical Church's support for Donald Trump in this second part of this topic. There is a distinction to be made between those who are highly religious vs. Christian Nationalists, and that gives me some hope for the future of the Church.

Reading List:

Jesus and John Wayne, how white evangelicals corrupted a faith and fractured a nation by Kristin Kobes Du Mez.

Peter Wehner: The Death of Politics, how to heal our Frayed Republic after Trump.

Believe Me, The evangelical road to Donald Trump by John Fea

Unholy, Why White Evangelicals Worship At The Altar of Donald Trump, by Sarah Posner

Taking America Back for God by Andrew Whitehead and Samuel Perry.

Wednesday, May 11, 2022 • Duration 35:28

My friend Pierce Kidder discusses his views of various topics with me.

So I offer some tips on how we can improve this whole process and better understand the reality of today.

Reality and the risk of civil war in America

Season 1 · Episode 5

Wednesday, April 27, 2022 • Duration 22:54

I discuss Barbara F. Walter's book How Civil Wars Start, and the implications for us today. We look at just how powerful social media is, with a focus on Facebook as the dominant platform worldwide. The risk of civil war is great, and a sobering thought. It challenges my perception of our country as a stable democracy.

Truth and Social Media

Season 1 · Episode 4

Tuesday, April 12, 2022 • Duration 23:46

In this episode I examine the nature of Social Media. We've all heard some bad things about it, but precisely what is it that can go wrong with connecting with friends on a platform like Facebook? We examine some of the theories like Spiral of Silence, and the nature of Confirmation Bias and the Silo effect. This is important, because many of us gather information and news from social media - and this forms the basis for our reality.

The Symbolic Convergence of people

Season 1 · Episode 2

Monday, March 28, 2022 • Duration 23:20

It's very confusing how two people can see things so differently in the world today. Issues like Right v. Left, Trump v. Biden, or just what IS true about vaccines? All of it perhaps can be best understood with some help from a theory called Symbolic Convergence.

In this I discuss the theory, with a focus on explanatory and predictive powers. I also share some of my life journey to help you understand where I am coming from. This is not about right or wrong, but rather a pathway to helping us understand the world around us better.

Plato's Allegory of the Cave

Season 1 · Episode 1

Monday, March 28, 2022 • Duration 16:42

Ever notice the divide in our country? Of course you have. But why are we so divided? In order to understand that I think we need to take a look at how we comprehend reality itself. Because, I have noticed that many of my friends view what is real, what is true, differently than I do. Not that I'm right, or they are right, but how can intelligent people have such radically different views of reality?

This episode takes a look at one of the first discussions of this topic. I explore Plato's analogy of the Cave. And I try to make some sense of this divide.
