THINGS HIDDEN 14: Memoirs of a Gaijin Jul 23, 2020

Show notes

Dr. Paul Axton, theologian and host of the Forging Ploughshares podcast, sits down with David Gornoski to talk about his experience of living in Japan, the idea of shame in death, Lacanian psychoanalysis, and seeing Japanese culture through Christian eyes.

While pointing out that Romans 7 is absolutely essential for understanding what it is to imitate Jesus, Dr. Axton observes that death is "an orientation of violence and what we're continuously spreading as we go."

Dr. Axton further explains that the problem of scapegoating is rooted in theological development and that we often mistakenly think that scapegoating is our salvation. The theologian highlights that refusal to scapegoat is resisting the enthroned sacrificial powers through an analysis of Shusaku Endo's novel 'Silence' and the historical persecution of Christians during the Tokugawa shogunate.

Why is there such a high suicide rate in Japan? What can Japan teach the rest of the world in being both a high-functioning and scapegoating society? Listen to the full podcast for an intriguing conversation on culture, politics, and the juxtaposition between scapegoating and technological rise in modern Japanese society.

Listen to the full episode as Rich Bledsoe describes how small things like praying for each other, as members supporting a larger body, can create cohesion and healing on a larger scale.

James Kourtides, David Gornoski on Rene Girard's I See Satan Fall Like Lightning, Gospel Technology Jul 18, 2020

Show notes

How do we understand the growing undifferentiation--the breaking apart of traditional hierarchies--in western society? How can the church regain the gospel aesthetic of standing for the hidden victims of our society? The church must tell the stories of victims, David says, and in doing so, woke culture would evaporate in an instant. But then how would Jesus' salvation of the world look like when we consider the insurmountable cultural and statist resistance to the gospel technology? Join David Gornoski and James Kourtides as they tackle these questions while figuring out how humanity can move past stagnation in innovation, polarization in society, and academic indoctrination.

Chris Calton on America's History of Policing - A Neighbor's Choice Jul 17, 2020

Show notes

Historian Chris Calton calls in to talk about the history of policing in America. The primary contributor to issues like rioting and police brutality, Calton says, is urban policing. Crime is not the primary determiner in arrest and incarceration statistics, Calton shockingly states. If crimes haven't increased then why are arrests increasing? The reason, according to Calton, is top-down pressure from politicians and bureaucrats to increase arrests. How did qualified immunity come into existence and how instrumental has it been in the rise of police brutality? How did criminal law originate? Listen to the full episode to find out and more.

Sean Malone Reviews Mr. Jones Movie - A Neighbor's Choice Jul 17, 2020

Show notes

In this episode, FEE.org's Sean Malone joins David Gornoski to look at 'Mr. Jones,' a movie based on the Holodomor tragedy and the media cover-up that followed. Why isn't the Holodomor as widely known as the Holocaust is in America? Totalitarian regimes were expected to hide the truth, Malone says, but what was really astonishing is the complacency of the New York Times and much of Western media who were in the Soviet Union at that time. The conversation later moves to big tech's calls for more socialism and the media's pro-war and pro-establishment stances. Listen to the full episode for all this and more.
