Good Faith Idea Exchange

As we see daily, today's employment opportunities and outlook is constantly changing.  Finding your way can be a challenge to say the least.  I sit down again with old military buddies Tyler and DJ to talk about pursuing your passions in today's fast-evolving workforce; what has worked for us and what might work for you in the struggle to find happiness at work.

For today's episode I sat down with old military friends Tyler and DJ once more to cover the recent election and what the next four years may hold under President Trump.  We spend a lot more time however, talking about the state of our society at this moment and how we got here.  It's an organic conversation between people with differing viewpoints.  However, we are not being rude, crass, or overruling one another constantly.  We're conversing as adults.  So if this is how you prefer your conversations to sound, give it a listen.

For this special flashback episode, please enjoy part one of one of the most downloaded interviews ever on this podcast.  I sat down with Professor Stephen Landes from the University of Rhode Island to talk about media.  Mass media, social media and other forms of this communication and the effects it has had on our society and culture from both a historical standpoint and in the present.

For today's flashback episode, please enjoy the conclusion of my two-parter with Prof. Landes.  I strongly recommend you guys listen to this one.  He tackles the rise of social media, algorithms, mass media motives, China’s tech “Great Wall,” the importance of different perspectives, and much more.This episode was tied for the most downloaded of last season and for good reason.

For today's flashback episode, I continued my conversation with Rev. Dr. Hall, and it was interesting to say the least.  We talked more about where the Church fits into today's complex world, Christian ethics and cultural issues, and how it all fits together.I want to reiterate, in no way am I attempting to influence or change one's way of thinking here, but episodes like this are what this podcast is all about, sharing different, challenging ideas, in good faith without rudeness or judgment.If you'd like to learn more about Rev. Dr. Hall, his story, his book, or about his perspectives on Christianity and the Bible in general, please visit: https://revjeremyhall.com

For this flashback episode, the podcast is tackling one of the few remaining important, yet sensitive topics we'd yet to cover...religion.  And in this episode we're talking particularly about Christianity and the Bible.  We talked about where the Church fits into today's complex world, Christian ethics and cultural issues, and how it all fits together.I have to say, this interview became more of an organic conversation as we talked and Rev. Dr. Hall was far different than I expected him to be in such a great way.  This is merely part one of our interview.  It's just the tip of the iceberg.If you'd like to learn more about Rev. Dr. Hall, his story, his book, or about his perspectives on Christianity and the Bible in general, please visit: https://revjeremyhall.com
