0217: Midweek Debrief - What’s Up With Re-Enchantment?

Dec 04 2024 80 mins  
What's up with the talk about re-enchantment lately? Why are people interested in “re-enchanting the world”? What’s at stake in the question and what is expected by those who pursue it? What good are old stories and are we prepared to risk our lives to find meaning and purpose? --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/donavon-riley/support

0216: Midweek Debrief - Should We Be Modern?

Nov 21 2024 80 mins  
Perhaps God does not want us to be modern because modernity too often blinds us to the eternal. In our rush to build, invent, and achieve, we forget to behold, to wonder, to worship. We lose the ability to see the sacred in the ordinary: the bread on the table, the sun rising over a field, the child laughing in a garden. These are not obstacles to progress; they are reminders of a

0215: Midweek Debrief - What Is “Woke”?

Nov 14 2024 87 mins  
What was once called “woke” has splintered into an anarchic patchwork of terms that don’t make sense unless you’ve swallowed the Kool-Aid and been dumped into a pit of postmodern nonsense. “Critical social justice,” “identity politics,” “gender studies,” “fourth-wave feminism”—the list grows like a mutant vine, changing shape faster than a bad acid trip. E

0214: Midweek Debrief - Mythologizing Modernity

Nov 07 2024 76 mins  
History is dead. Or, so I was told. For a long time, I believed it. Not because I wanted to, but I could see the world around me. It was plain as day that I did not live in the world of my heroes. Myth and legend had ended, history had marched to its lackluster end, and we were all fated to live out our days in a lethargic, decaying, neo-liberal hellscape. Consume product. Work fo

0212: Midweek Debrief - A Conversation w/Xenophon on Tyranny

Oct 09 2024 95 mins  
When, because of their fear, they do away secretly with such men, who is left for them to use save the unjust, the incontinent, and the slavish? The unjust are trusted because they are afraid, just as the tyrants are, that someday the cities, becoming free, will become their masters. The incontinent are trusted because they are at liberty for the present, and the slavish because no

0211: Midweek Debrief - A Conversation w/George Carlin on Politics

Oct 03 2024 83 mins  
Now, there's one thing you might have noticed I don't complain about: politicians. Everybody complains about politicians. Everybody says they suck. Well, where do people think these politicians come from? They don't fall out of the sky. They don't pass through a membrane from another reality. They come from American parents and American families, American homes, American schools, A

0210: Midweek Debrief - Nihilism, Cultural Insanity & Child Sacrifice

Sep 12 2024 79 mins  
"Humanity had thought itself sufficient, and even now we think we can escape our destiny by our own efforts. Escape!--that is our only thought. To escape from the insanity, the hell of modern life is all we wish. But we cannot escape!!! We must go through this hell, and accept it, knowing it is the love of God that causes our suffering. What terrible anguish!--to suffer so, no
