This week on How God Works, we explore friendship. Right now, that includes implications of AI chatbot friends. While people report feeling more heard & valued by chatbots, that’s not what makes for a good friend philosopher Samuel Kimbriel (and Aristotle) note. www.howgodworks.org/podcast/seas...

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

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 them right. Join @lauriesantos.bsky.social & me as we unpack that wisdom. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h... @prx.org

Religions always influenced diet. But Christian influencers like Alex Clark are taking modern diet & wellness ideas and dressing them up in theological claims, with a big one being: God doesn't want you to be fat. I talk with @jessgrose.bsky.social about it on HGW podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h...

We explored this tension with Miroslav Volf with respect to both Christian nationalism and the war in Gaza, and looked at the science behind how religion works in our minds. 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...

Why do many people think the End Times & Rapture are just around the corner? I talk with writer Dina Nayeri about what it's like to live with that expectation, and Cornell Prof. Kim Haines-Eitzen about what we get wrong about religious views of the apocalypse. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h...

Another hearing on UFOs/UAPs today. But while the debate is focused on "disclosure," there's another story. More & more people are treating aliens as spiritual guides. And why not? Like many religions, the stories are about powerful beings coming down from the sky 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...

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

Poisoned & burned: How Canada turned soldiers into lab rats From 1941 to 1989, for nearly 50 years at Alberta’s Suffield Experimental Station, about 4,000 Canadian military volunteers- mostly young, low-ranking soldiers- were exposed to chemical warfare agents in secret defensive trials.

Marine Israélienne Le système « Diamant » transforme un navire de guerre en une véritable flotte. Au lieu de s'appuyer sur un seul bâtiment imposant, Israël déploie à ses côtés des vedettes d'attaque sans équipage, armées de missiles, de drones et de systèmes de défense aérienne.

‘Like drinking from a fetid-pond.’ A new report from Watershed Investigations (link in comments) detects superbug-creating genes at Lough Neagh. Commenting on The Nolan show, Green Party Leader Mal O’Hara raised his concerns that things at Lough Neagh are getting worse rather than better.

We've been told the world is run by incredibly strategic multi-billion and multi-trillion dollar companies, but for those who work inside them, it feels like nothing could be further from the truth. Would these companies function if all the EAs stopped working? @skriptble.me @matthewsanabria.com

This is what happens when people refuse to look away. Awareness turned into pressure, and pressure forced change. Today is a step forward—but the system behind it still exists. Support the groups doing the work, stay informed, and keep speaking up. #betterlifeforanimals #beagles
