    My Redeemer Liveth

    Myron and Martin argue that Christian maturity comes not from waiting for divine hints but from exercising wisdom under God’s rule. They discuss civility around privacy in public spaces, visit New York City’s High Line Park, and turn to Aquinas on angels, beatitude, and the distinct glory of human beings choosing to worship God. “For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth.”—Job 19:25, KJV 06:30 Opening Reflections: God's plan and our stupidity43:19 Rules of Civility: Giving strangers privacy52:05 Roadside Attractions: High Line Park58:06 Summa Theologica (Prima Pars, Q61–62) For a reference guide to the Rules of Civility and a complete index of the Calvin and Aquinas readings discussed on the podcast, visit www.gettingwisdompodcast.com.

    Persona Non Grata: Donors and Dissidents in the Ivy League

    In this guest episode, Myron and Martin are joined by Cornell alumnus Carl Neuss, who recounts his shift from major donor to organized opposition of institutional capture. He describes how ideological drift, donor leverage, media exposure, and external pressure converged to challenge the university’s departure from free speech, Western tradition, and Christian foundations.

    High Station

    Myron and Martin reflect on the modern expectation of “knowing God’s will,” arguing that Christian maturity consists not in waiting for divine signals but in exercising wisdom, agency, and judgment—before turning to civility across social ranks, Aquinas on good and evil, and Calvin on Scripture’s testimony to the one true God. "For I know that my redeemer liveth" —Job 19:25 03:19 Opening Reflections: Praying for guidance 30:45 Roadside Attractions: Arizona 42:58 Rules of Civility: Social status 59:43 Summa Theologica (Prima Pars, Q47–49) 1:14:39 Institutes (1.10.1-3)

    Rightly Ordered

    Myron and Martin reflect on Christian time management as an ordering of life toward worship, work, and virtue. Today’s civility discussion balances flattery and sincerity. In the readings, Aquinas turns to the procession of all creation from God, while Calvin defends Scripture’s credibility through prophecy, history, and witness. "All beings apart from God are not their own being, but are beings by participation." —Summa Theologica, Prima Pars, Q44 02:11 Opening Reflections: Time management 37:35 Roadside Attractions: Los Angeles 51:49 Rules of Civility: Flattery 1:03:32 Summa Theologica (Prima Pars, Q44) 1:09:47 Institutes (1.8.8-13)
