Is withdrawing from the world into a life of contemplation or being in the world trying to heal it the best route to growing spiritually? Turns out, as @sigalsamuel.bsky.social not...

Whether it's the rushing around, stress, or loneliness, the holidays can be hard. But there's a way to find joy, peace, and connection in the traditional celebrations, IF you do th...

Loneliness is on the rise. That's not news. But maybe part of the reason is: we're no longer sure what it means to be a good friend or lack tools to make it happen. I talk with Sam...

Preview here with @drmoore.bsky.social & pastor Rasool Berry. We take a deep dive into why many men are feeling angry & hopeless, why a growing number of young men are turning to Christianity, and the benefits & potential dangers that can follow depending on the guidance they get. @aibm.bsky.social
Are we coddling teens? How can we help their transition to adulthood? To find out, I talk with neuroscientist Leah Somerville and religion scholar Connor Wood about the adolescent brain and how rites of passage can help teens better move into adulthood. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h... @prx.org
Many in Silicon Valley talk about AI almost as a savior, or as @sigalsamuel.bsky.social says, like they're trying to build a god. But do they know what makes a god good? Sigal isn't so sure, and when we fed our discussion into Claude (who joined us in voice mode), neither was it. 1/2
From my conversation with @hubermanlab.com, here's why you shouldn't believe any scientist who says they know for certain that God doesn't exist. Science can & does adjudicate ideas about how the world works. But it can't answer whether God is out there. www.hubermanlab.com/episode/scie...
The capacity for belief & transcendence extends farther back & wider through our evolutionary tree than scientists ever expected. On this episode, we explore its origins, and what it means for our understanding of belief today, with anthropologist Agustin Fuentes. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h...
We all have an innate need to feel like we matter. But as author Jennifer Wallace notes, that need often goes unmet. We talk about how to solve this mattering deficit. I also chat with Duke's Patty Van Cappellen about the wisdom spiritual traditions offer to help podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h...
Young women are leaving the church in record numbers, even as many young men are looking to it for meaning. What direction this goes next depends on how the debate about the roles of men & women plays out: dominance or complements? My chat with Richard Reeves & @drmoore.bsky.social 1/2
Many people are adopting a bespoke spirituality - like combining a ritual from Hinduism with a Buddhist meditation, and adding in a trip to an Amazonian psychedelic retreat. But what's lost when spirituality goes DYI? This week, I talk with Liz Bucar. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h...
Diet has always mixed with morality in religion. But today's Christian influencers are taking it to new & potentially problematic levels. I talk with @nytimes.com writer @jessgrose.bsky.social & religious historian Catherine Newell about the history of food & faith podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h...
When it comes to understanding consciousness, Philip Goff tells me why it’s been so difficult. Our science is designed to exclude consciousness, or at least block different ways to approach understanding it - ways that spiritual traditions have favored. www.howgodworks.org/podcast/seas...
Minister Tim Mander was in New Zealand on Wednesday night when his lawyers informed him he'd been referred to the AFP. Should not the next call he made have been to Premier David Crisafulli? The premier was informed through the media at lunchtime Thursday. #qldpol

Business is the beating heart of Scotland. But the SNP Government doesn’t get business and their track record proves they don’t care about it. Too many are going bust and high streets are struggling to survive.

Rivers are the lifeblood of our landscapes - but in many constituencies like mine, they're under threat. It was an honour to present my petition on behalf of constituents, calling on the govt to take further action to address pollution and save the River Wye and its tributaries.
Q: Can you comment on the IRS settlement which was rolled over into this weaponization fund over at DOJ? Bessent: It would be inappropriate for me to comment. Trump is a great American who has endured more than 10 years of nonstop harassment and weaponization. Wait, what?!?! Projection!
There is no amount of fuel that can be safely stored at the Critical Energy Infrastructure Hub. We need to create a plan to cease operations entirely. I’m running for City Council because we need legislators who are prioritizing emergency preparedness and public safety over fossil fuel corporations.

At full Council I asked about the average cost of a pedestrian crossing, previously I've received answers from the Cabinet Member on a crossing not going in on Bridge Road prior to any larger transport plans, due to potential risk in altering it. I wanted to get a clear picture of that risk cost.

Talarico: We have a government of, by, and for the billionaires. Those billionaires buy politicians like Ken Paxton. And then those puppets turn around and rig the rules of the economy in favor of those billionaires at our expense.
