When Your Humanities PhD Leads To Unemployment With Dr. Jared Oliphint Feb 22, 2023

Show notes

Dr. Jared Oliphint is a 2022 PhD graduate in philosophy at Texas A&M University and, like the majority of PhD graduates in the humanities, was completely unable to land a teaching. In an academic world, defined by pledging allegiance to diversity, equity, and inclusion, a humanities teaching career is not likely going to happen. You should discourage your friends and loved one from pursuing a humanities PhD because the stress and trauma of their likely and eventual unemployment may not be worth it.

How Churches Should Respond To The Boy Crisis Feb 14, 2023

Show notes

Men and boys are lost! In the episode, I provide this history, the data, and practical things that churches can do to end the Boy Crisis. Two books are critical here: (1) The Boy Crisis by Warren Farrell and John Gray, and (2) Of Boys and Men by Richard Reeves. Boys don’t know why the country needs them. They don’t know why they are here. The male problem today is a crisis of hopelessness. They lack a sense of purpose. There is no clear path for young men to know what they are needed for exactly! Young men sitting home and watching video games is not laziness. Its resignation. It’s not intentional irresponsibility, but an expression of active hopelessness. The slides that accompany this presentation are on my Patreon account.

Dr. Michael Jones On Obesity And The Christian Life Feb 09, 2023

Show notes

Dr. Michael Jones, an obesity medicine physician in Virginia, spoke to me about obesity and the Christian life. This is one topic you will not hear pastors or Christian leaders raise. For example, Crossway has no books on obesity but the publishers does have books on all types of other addictions & diseases. Being overweight should not be reduced to gluttony, although it is pretty sad to see churches boasting about their gluttonous community events (lots of men's events do this). Being overweight can range from poorly managing discomfort, stress, anxiety, etc. to lacking education about what to eat or not eat. Christian bear witness to the truth of Christianity by how we talk care of our bodies and this discussion is long overdue.
