    Orthodoxy, Protestantism, and Fairytales | Jonathan Pageau EP 212

    Jonathan Pageau is back on my podcast! He spoke about mythology and the decline of meaningful fairy tales, and shared his reimagining of ‘Jack and the Beanstock’ – ’Jack and the Fallen Giants.’ Jonathan explored the role of Saints, scripture, and the difference between Protestant and Orthodox beliefs regarding them.   Jonathan delved into the mythological significance of classic stories and why they resonate in ways today’s tales often fail to.. Reflecting on the storytelling legacy of old Disney films, he contrasted them with modern animations that feel increasingly shallow, and how the earlier films conveyed themes of good vs. evil, courage, and moral growth, in addition to grappling with complex and powerful religious symbolism.  Jonathan Pageau is a Canadian icon carver, artist, and speaker known for his unique insights into symbolism, art, and traditional Christian imagery. Pageau explores everything from biblical stories to pop culture, bringing fresh discussions about meaning, symbolism, and the spiritual life to a modern audience. —Check Out Our Sponsors—  For a high quality, ideology-free education consider enrolling in Peterson Academy: https://petersonacademy.com/ Order my hangover supplement, After Party on https://bit.ly/3HajcWV and Amazon https://a.co/d/6OGdTrT.

    China, Fentanyl, Pro-Palestine Protestors, BLM, and Marxism | Xaviaer DuRousseau EP 211

    This week I’m joined by PragerU personality Xaviaer DuRousseau. Xaviaer is an ex-BLM activist who now uses his platform to educate viewers on politics, and cultural issues as a PragerU Personality. We spoke about why some celebrities are forced to endorse Kamala Harris, Xaviaer’s time undercover for a “Free Palestinian” encampment on UCLA’s campus, misperceptions about Israel, the insidious re-emergence of anti-semisim, the necessity for an informed and educated public, and geopolitical politics and the link between China and fentanyl. Xaviaer also discussed his short documentary, “Their Lives Mattered,” that exposes the heartbreaking reality of inner-city children caught in the crossfire of violent crime as a result of de-policing policies and district attorneys who let repeat offenders back on the street. Xaviaer also reflected on how contrasting social environments shaped his early views on race and identity. He spoke about his college years embracing woke ideology, and his experiences as a social justice warrior in California. While watching PragerU videos with the intention of finding weaknesses in their arguments, Xaviaer realized he was wrong about almost everything, ultimately having an entire ideological shift.
