Doable DiscipleshipThe Urgency of Grace in a Worn-out World with David Zahl“Why do some of us experience Christianity as a burden and others as a refuge? The answer, I am convinced, has to do with grace. Grace is the Big Relief at the heart of Christianity. When grace is down-played or qualified, faith turns into a project and then a burden.

PZ's PodcastEpisode 400 - Jordan, Meet JackieThis is a sort of "marker" podcast -- my 400th. It's kind of my summing up on the subject of human identity and the origin of human satisfaction.
The cast cites a recent interview with Jordan Peterson, and do note that the interviewer is almost as interesting as the interviewee I also quote John Zahl's distillation sermon from December 29th -- which happened to be Mrs. Zahl's and my 51st Anniversary. The cast finishes with a little James Hilton (i.e., one's current fave) and... a 1978 cover of Maurice Williams & the Zodiacs. You'll see.

Fernsehen schauen ist auf lange Sicht gesünder für Kinder als das Fahrradfahren. Dieses erschreckende Ergebnis einer ADFC-Studie aus dem Jahr 2020 war der Startschuss unseres Herzensprojektes „Pedalino“. Über 30 Prozent aller Unfälle von Kindern unter 9 Jahren passieren auf dem Fahrrad, bei Jugendlichen war die Zahl noch höher. Als Fahrradeinzelhändler war das ein Fakt, den wir nur schwer hinnehmen konnten. Also erweckten wir mit Unterstützung von Steffen Blochwitz vom Brandenburgischen Radsportverein Pedalino zum Leben.

There was a presentation of a Foundational Document summarizing Wortman’s violent encounters with others, followed by a witness, Wortman’s former neighbour, Brenda Forbes. Ms. Forbes knew about some key incidents of violence, and had reported Wortman to the police. Wortman appears to have been a person who routinely used physical violence throughout his adult life. With men, he would either seek out or be easily provoked into violence. With women, he was sexually aggressive and persistent in his adv...

Hach. Daher haben sich Tom und John etwas mehr Zeit genommen. Ab jetzt sollte die Veröffentlichung wieder regelmäßiger laufen. Heute geht ausschließlich um Fakten rund um die Zahl 5. Klar das Tom ganz tief in die Mathekiste greift und John versucht, irgendwas so hinzukonstruieren, dass es entfernt an die fünf erinnert! Von Platon und der Apokalypse und allerlei anderen seltsamen nutzlosen Fakten. Viel Spaß bei fünf überaus nutzlosen Fakten mit Tom & John.

It was a fairly "middle-brow" column, but its heart was in the right place.
This new podcast explores the element of humor in resourcing one's detachment from the "boxing ring" of everyday life. (Did you wince at that 'English' use of "resource" as a verb?) I want to say that when you "lose your life and thereby gain it back" -- in...

2020-10-151h 01PZ's PodcastEpisode 305 - 'Wear a Mask' (Los Straitjackets)I heard something very helpful recently in a sermon by John Zahl. He said that sometimes in life what seems like the end is really the middle. I think JAZ meant that when your situation feels like -- maybe is -- the end of the world, it may really be the hinge point to "A Whole New World" (Aladdin, 1992).
This insight is true in Christian experience. What looks like the end turns out to be the middle.
Which made one immediately think of Los Straitjackets, that ever welling spring of inspiration that consists of five...

The MockingcastEpisode 104: Exploring the Oddball World of Leftfield Christian Music 1973-87, Pt. 2 - John ZahlAt last year’s NY Conference we mined deep, but there’s a ton more to share. In this breakout, we will continue to explore the world of obscure Christian funk and electronic music from yesteryear. We will learn about why early Christian hip-hop floundered so after its inception (hint: the reason is theological). And we’ll remember how radical it is to introduce a Moog into your worship band, in 1974 (!!). Then there’s Mr. T’s song about the Ten Commandments. Are you wondering what happened to Jimmy Mamou when he read the Bible in Hawaii? What about the nu-wav...
2017-07-171h 00The MockingcastEpisode 98: Science is From Mars, Theology is From Venus: Perspectives from Psychology and Faith - Bonnie Poon Zahl and Bethany SollerederAccording to the Pew Research Center (see here and here), over half of American adults who were sampled (59%) believe that, in general, science is often in conflict with religion. But “conflict” is only one way of seeing how science and religion might relate. Other possibilities include “independent”, “competition”, “dialogue”, “discussion”, “engagement”, “partnership”, “collaboration”, among others. Some, like scientist and theologian Alister McGrath, take a more nuanced approach, and describe the relationship as complementary, while historian John Hedley Brooke (writing before Facebook was a thing) simply described the relationship as: “It’s complicated”. How about you? How do you view the relationship between science and r...

(1632-1704)
Erfahrung ist der Ursprung der Erkenntnis
Lockes Gedanken zum Empirismus waren prägend für die modernen Naturwissenschaften. Seine politischen Schriften beeinflussten die amerikanische und die französische Revolution und wirken bis heute nach.
In seinem erkenntnistheoretischen Hauptwerk "An Essay concerning human understanding" postulierte Locke:
"Alle Erkenntnis stammt aus der Erfahrung".
Dies nennt man auch Erfahrung "a posteriori" ("was nachher kommt").
Locke lehnte damit die Position der Rationalisten wie z.B. Descartes ab, die meinten, es müsse zuerst der Verstand tätig werden, bevor man Sinneserfahrungen machen könne.
Locke vergleicht also die menschliche Seele mit einer...
