Excerpt from radio appearance on David Gornoski's "A Neighbors Choice", looking at the role of the church during the "end times", and the role of Faith in the age of nihilism.

I hope this message and prayer finds you well. I want to invite you, my much-appreciated subscribers, for a conversation- an experiment in “dialogos”. The topic is open, and my intention is to get to know you, and potentially share your story with our community. I am no pastor, but have been inspired by Paul Vanderklay’s “rando” conversations.
If you’re interested, please email me at integralintent@gmail.com
Also wanted to share this prayer with you (I pray this is not a prideful exercise on my part). It is a mixture of my words and some inspired and borrowed from the Saints. The context of prayer (or at least how I use it) is before reading works from the Saints and the Church Fathers. My intellect is a lot of times my biggest stumbling block- a passion that is revealed to me most when reading from these most treasured Holy Resources.
Prayer For Cultivating the Heart:
-The mind makes haste when the Heart is not yet ready. Holy-Spirit tend the soil of our Innermost sanctuary, through God’s Grace, His Will, Thy seed take root. Bless us with Humility and Discernment, and through the Glory of our Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God; Enlighten our darkness, guide our will; teach us to Pray, and Pray Yourself within us.
Amin.
Thank you

Brett seems to happen upon the Griardian insight into the 'polical aspect to Christ's story, when he was scapegoated at Evergreen College. What say you?

A fruitful conversation I had with Paul Lloyd Robson of Maniphesto. Really enjoyed it and will be continuing the discussion in another installment coming soon. Make sure to follow Paul's work and subscribe to his YouTube channel (links below).
While many are looking out on the world and the current state of society and thinking "what on earth is happening?", people who are familiar with the history of religion and mythology can see clear and predictable patterns emerging.
As a result, increasingly, people are flocking to thinkers who are able to bring together an understanding of religion and mythology with contemporary science in a way which is complementary instead of oppositional. This explains the rise of Jordan Peterson and many like him.
In this, the first of a series of conversations on "Understanding Religion for Discernment", Paul Lloyd Robson and James Kourtides set out on a project of building bridges between a secular worldview and the ancient worldview as presented by the Orthodox faith and mythology in general.
The approach here owes much to the framework of the Symbolic World by Jonathan Pageau (https://thesymbolicworld.com/), and Lord of Spirits by Fr Andrew Daimick and Fr Stephen de Young (https://www.ancientfaith.com/podcasts/lordofspirits)
