Summary

We live in a time of deep cultural division. It is political: progressive vs. conservative. It is economic: socialism vs. capitalism. It runs through fundamental issues like abortion: pro-choice vs. pro-life. It runs through demographically, class, and education: Urban, highly educated elites vs. rural, blue-collar “deplorables.” Ultimately, it is rooted in deep worldview beliefs: Objective truth vs. man-created “truth,” spin, and narrative creation.

Episode Description

We live in a time of deep cultural division. It is political: progressive vs. conservative. It is economic: socialism vs. capitalism. It runs through fundamental issues like abortion: pro-choice vs. pro-life. It runs through demographically, class, and education: Urban, highly educated elites vs. rural, blue-collar “deplorables.” Ultimately, it is rooted in deep worldview beliefs: Objective truth vs. man-created “truth,” spin, and narrative creation. Creation vs. naturalistic evolution. Judeo-Christian theism vs. “woke” cultural Marxism. This divide is challenging and uncomfortable for many Christians, who want to be viewed as peacemakers and not angry culture warriors. Increasingly, they speak in terms of “not this, or that” but “a third way.” Today, we explore the growing trend of “third-wayism.” Is it helpful, or does it lead us astray?

Conversations with Brighton Thandabantu Welcome! You and I share space - this rocky, blue, beautiful planet we call home (Earth). That means our actions do not only have consequences on ourselves but on other people we share space with. I believe that ideas and beliefs influence our actions. So, to minimize bad actions and promote the good ones, I believe conversation is the best tool for promoting good ideas and/or beliefs. Join me on this journey; and if you would like to show your support, subscribe, share and like! Breaking The Fever Alison Taylor & Jérôme Tagger The Coronavirus pandemic is the biggest crisis many of us have experienced in our lifetime, so far. And, as Arundhati Roy said, it is "a portal, a gateway from one world to the next." In any crisis, impossible ideas suddenly become possible, and precedents are set that can transform society over the long term. How can we identify, harness and shape these precedents so that we emerge into a better future? Join Jérōme Tagger of Preventable Surprises and Alison Taylor of Ethical Systems in this lively series of discussions exploring the social, political, environmental, economic and governance consequences of the pandemic. We bring together experts from a range of disciplines and a highly engaged audience to challenge and push their thinking. We hope our conversations spark ideas, connections, and solutions. Eve’s Talk Mikie Dean Eve's Talk is a live podcast designed to inspire women of all ages to know that your mistakes in life do not blemish your purpose. Eve reminds us that her actions may have had consequences but her name still has purpose. Eve was God’s original idea and her purpose filled the earth. You are the fulfillment of that purpose and God is ready for Eve’s to Talk. Should Be Known Clayton Pixton We get to the root of human problems like anxiety and depression and relationship issues by unpacking the idea of self-deception, an integral mechanism of life. There is a light of truth to which we have constant access, which when we act against we necessarily blind ourselves to the truth and suffer the consequences, even when we're not aware of what we're doing and are uncondemned by God. That's the idea. I believe it has great potential to unlock our ability to recover from powerful human problems and direct our efforts in this way. Join me on this journey!
