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...
This is how you do it. @jamestalarico.bsky.social is bringing the language of faith back to the left. It should never have been ceded to the right.
Is doubt the death of faith? To the contrary, @yaledivinityschool.bsky.social professor Christian Wiman thinks it's a possible route to revelation and renewal. Link to full conversation in the following post. 1/2
Wisdom isn’t about what you think; it’s about how you think. It’s using a set of mental tools. On this week’s episode of How God Works, we explore the science behind wisdom with @igi.bsky.social and take a look at modern & centuries old ways of cultivating it. www.howgodworks.org/podcast/seas...
If you're looking to improve life in 2026, you might want to think about...sin. Not in the fire & brimstone sense, but as @elizabetholdfield.bsky.social notes, as something that separates us from others or, simply put, just F's things up. Join us as we rethink sin. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h...
The rise of Jordan Peterson & similar influencers among men doesn't stem from their advice & guidance. Those are pretty basic. It's the demand that signifies the crisis men are facing, and society's failings. I talk with Richard Reeves of @aibm.bsky.social podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h...
How do faiths based on love and compassion justify violence? From conflict in the Middle East to Christian Nationalism in the US, I urged journalists to understand and write about religion as a technology, not just as a set of beliefs, @wgbh.org media summit. 1/2
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 notes, they're not mutually exclusive. The two paths can reinforce each other. More here podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h...
Shamans have always been with us. This week, we explore how shamanism works with @manvir.bsky.social and why forms of it pop up in some surprising places, from modern medicine and CEO culture to charismatic Christianity. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h...
I asked David Brooks if he thinks relying on rationality can get in the way of embracing faith. His answer doesn't reject science & positivism, but speaks to their limitations. It's why I think he's right & scholars like Richard Dawkins & Steven Pinker aren't. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h...

Stephen A Smith sexually harassed Chiney Ogwumike on air, and when Coach Jackie made a video about it, Shaq (yes, Shaquille O’Neal) wrote a rude and condescending comment on Jackie’s video. As a sexual harassment researcher who studied French and grew up watching Shaq, I had to weigh in.

Jack Smith had enough evidence to convict Trump of selling and mismanaging US most important secretes at Ma-ra-lago. Now we are seeing that trump handed those secretes to Putin who is using it to help Iran kill Americans. US blood is on the hands of the 5 corrupt SCOTUS who gave him immunity.

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!

I love this for Trump. Every second he's sitting there, he’s feeling low and humiliated, and the fact everyone is laughing at him is killing him, and I love every bit of it.
After the Prime Minister said he was on board with MAGA America in NYC, women understand that it is synonymous with a loss of our reproductive freedoms. There has never been a more important time to protect them. Please contribute if you can.
