"WhatifAlthist" | World History, Philosophy, CultureStop Coping. Your Life SucksOur era judges itself against utopian fantasies rather than real historical comparison—the ultimate intellectual sleight-of-hand. This episode exposes the shocking truth: your life is VASTLY harder than you realize. Examining economic, social, spiritual, and physical aspects reveals how normal young people today live objectively terrible lives despite our denial. When ancient wisdom across civilizations aligns with cutting-edge science against modern assumptions, the horror of what we've done to ourselves becomes breathtaking.--SPONSORS:NetSuite: More than 41,000 businesses have already upgraded to NetSuite by Oracle, the...2024-08-1652 min
"WhatifAlthist" | World History, Philosophy, CultureExplaining the Political TriangleThe Political Compass—created by libertarians to separate themselves from fascism—works fine for modern Western politics but COMPLETELY BREAKS when applied to history. Why are Medieval Europe, the Taliban, and Imperial Japan all crammed into "authoritarian right"? This episode introduces the Political Triangle, a superior anthropological model that can accurately map EVERY society in human history, revealing deeper patterns than the simplistic right-left divide dominating our current era.--SPONSORS:NetSuite: More than 41,000 businesses have already upgraded to NetSuite by Oracle, the #1 cloud financial system...2024-08-0342 min
"WhatifAlthist" | World History, Philosophy, CultureWas the Unabomber Right?As a child, I heard about a comic-book villain called the Unabomber—a Harvard mathematician turned terrorist who wanted to destroy civilization. Fast-forward to our current sci-fi dystopia, and attitudes have dramatically shifted. Among disaffected young men, "Uncle Ted" Kaczynski has become a prophet whose warnings seem increasingly prescient. Following his prison suicide last year, this episode examines whether the Unabomber's critique of technology and society was actually correct.--SPONSORS:NetSuite: More than 41,000 businesses have already upgraded to NetSuite by Oracle, the #1 cloud financial sys...2024-08-0349 min

For the Life of the World / Yale Center for Faith & CultureDesire: How Avarice and Acquisition Distort Our Longing for the Sacred / Micheal O'Siadhail"Having lost a sense of the sacred, the only thing we want is acquisitiveness—more of everything. How can we break this vicious cycle of avarice? It seems to me that the only way we can possibly reign this in on ourselves is some retrieval of the sense of the sacred, something beyond ourselves. And I think that relearning humility—realizing that a parasitic pathogen can spread across the globe and wreak havoc as it did—brings us to the question again of the sacred.Dare we speak of a God who is worthy of all our...2024-04-1753 min

For the Life of the World / Yale Center for Faith & CultureMicheal O'Siadhail / Testament: Through You I Gaze at All I LoveMicheal O'Siadhail reflects on his latest collection of poetry, Testament. A confession of faith through Psalms refracted through his experience, and the Gospel story retold through rhyme, O'Siadhail's vibrant faith manifests as complaint, longing, grief, mourning, and doubt. With mountains and oceans of poetry written over the past 45 years, he writes on love, loss, modernity, music—all an experiment of drawing the universal down into the particular and right back up again. From Psalm 1, his opening verses, he writes, "Uncloseted, / Things once unsaid my life declares: / My words are prayers my being plays; / Through you I gaze at all I...2023-04-0756 min

The Baptist HeritageEpisode 11 - Interview with Clif Daniell on 17th Century RadicalismThe podcast's first interview! I sit down with Clif Daniell - a scholar, Presbyterian minister, and pastor of Grace Presbyterian Church - to talk about the duties of the Westminster Assembly and 17th Century English Radicalism, a subject on which he has been published. Our discussion will hopefully provide a greater context to the last episode (the English Civil War) and the overall religious milieu of England in the 1640'sQuestions or Comments - thebaptistheritage.net2021-08-0755 minThe Baptist HeritageEpisode 10 - War, Regicide, RepublicIn this episode we give an overview of the reign of King Charles and the ecclesiastical reforms implemented by Archbishop William Laud. We also explore the causes of the English Civil War (1642-1651) and the outbreak of radicalism during the conflict. All of this will be helpful in providing the Baptist historian with some context of contemporary events during the formative years of the denomination (1640+) and the role confessions played in distinguishing them from heretics.

In the same heat, Louisville’s Evgenii Somov came in hot with a 22.87 breast split, the 13th-fastest split all-time, to put the Cardinals in the lead. Senior Nicolas Albiero held on to the narrow lead with his 20.07 fly split. Cal’s Ryan Hoffer (19.70) and Florida’s Eric Friese (19.87) were sub-20 on their fly legs, yet still could not catch Cardinal Albiero. Hoffer’s split is now the 10th-fastest split in history.

We will explore his writings to understand why he decided to leave the relative safety of his exile in Holland and head back to England to make a stand against the Anglican Church. His book on religious freedom "A Short Declaration of the Mistery of Iniquity" was so taboo that King James, who had received an autographed copy by Helwys himself, had the man imprisoned for the remainder of his life. Also, we explore how early Baptist theology reflected a middle ground...2020-09-2924 minThe Baptist HeritageEpisode 7 - Infant and Believer's BaptismIn this Episode we take a break from the historical narrative of the Separatists to talk about the difference between credobaptism (believer's baptism) and paedobaptism (infant baptism). Did the earliest Christians baptize babies? If so, why aren't there any examples in Scripture? If not, how did the ordinance come to be imbued with such ceremonial pomp? Why didn't it end with the Reformation? And why was believer's baptism met with such militant resistance?

This moment is important for a number of reasons, but two particular things stand out: 1) Smyth baptizes his congregation as believing adults (believer’s baptism), which was deemed a heresy during Medieval Christianity and 2) Robinson leads a faction of the group to the city of Leiden, where they worship until their decision to travel to America as pilgrims in 1620. We will be focused mostly on the actions of Smyth, as he is cred...2020-08-0927 minThe Baptist HeritageEpisode 5 - John Smyth the Se-Baptist, Part OneIn this episode we'll be discussing John Smyth and his contribution to the Baptist faith. Though his theological perspectives were never quite static - evolving from Puritan to Separatist, to Baptist, to Mennonite - he is considered by most a denominational forerunner and to have founded the first identifiable Baptist church in Holland in 1609. He rejected infant baptism, subsequently baptized himself (believer's baptism) and his congregation, while self-exiling in Amsterdam. During his early ministry he was closely associated with John Robinson, the pastor of the "Pilgrims", though the two eventually parted ways (geographically and theologically). Smyth's story fits into...2020-07-0617 minThe Baptist HeritageEpisode 4 - King James, the Hampton Court Conference, and the Authorized Version of the BibleIn this episode we will discuss the ascension of King James I (aka King James the VI of Scotland) to the English throne in 1603 and the winds of change in matters of religion. James' response to the Puritan's petitions for further reformation occasions the Hampton Court Conference of 1604, which resulted in the commission of a new translation of the Bible (take a guess what its called). Also, we will look at a couple of the Translators, namely Lancelot Andrewes and Laurence Chaderton, and how they relate to the main figure if our last episode, Francis Johnson.

We will be evaluating the distinctions of separatism as something greater than simply “not Anglican” as Johnson struggles with congregational strife and the defection to Anabaptistry of his former student, John Smyth. Plus, I’ll recount the crazy story of how Johnson and his brother went to North America 22 years before the Pilgrims, where they were shipwrecked and attacked by pirates (kind of)! And, most importantly, what does all of this have to do with u...2020-05-2922 minThe Baptist HeritageEpisode 2 - Separatists, Brownists, and A Treatise of Reformation Without Tarying for AnieOn this episode we discuss the beginning of the separatist movement and how it is different from that of the Puritans. We look at some primary texts that illustrate the existence and mistreatment of these groups at the hands of Queen Elizabeth I. We also discuss the "leader" of the movement, Robert Browne, his character, legacy and works (A Treatise of Reformation Without Tarying for Anie) and how they fit into the growing principle of religious freedom.
