    0208: Midweek Debrief - Ukrainian Christians, Ruby Ridge & The Deadly Poison of Indifference

    So what will we do? Will we remain on the shore, dipping our toes in the water now and then, or will we plunge in, fully, recklessly, trusting that this river will carry us where we need to go? That is what true love is—it is a surrender, a letting go of our need to control, to manage, to predict. It is a wild rumpus, a leap into the unknown, a cry that travels through forests and over fields, and shakes the very earth beneath our feet. And in this love, we will find that indifference has no place. It cannot survive in the rushing waters of a soul that is fully alive, fully attuned to the presence of Love, the Christ-Savior - Donavon L Riley  --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/donavon-riley/support

    0207: Midweek Debrief - Pulling Back The Veil

    You may remember the Green Knight arriving at Camelot after fifteen days straight of feasting. King Arthur has asked for a story so that the tribe could remember itself but none of the assembled have the gumption to respond. A deeper story was required. Perfectly on time, the Green Knight bursts through the door. In the act of being beheaded but then continuing to live, the Green Knight brings a terrible but familiar, biblical question: “Who will lose their life to find it?” --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/donavon-riley/support

    0205: Midweek Debrief - Can One Be Liberated From Fear?

    The basic question in this vortex is whether man can be liberated from fear. This is far more important than arming or supplying him with medicines—for power and health are prerogatives of the unafraid. In contrast, the fear besets even those armed to the teeth— indeed, them above all. The same may be said for those on whom abundance has been rained. The threat cannot be exorcized by weapons or fortunes—these are no more than means. - Ernst Junger, The Forest Passage --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/donavon-riley/support

    204: Midweek Debrief - What Is Propaganda, part 2

    "To the extent that propaganda is based on current news, it cannot permit time for thought or reflection. A man caught up in the news must remain on the surface of the event; he is carried along in the current, and can at no time take a respite to judge and appreciate; he can never stop to reflect. There is never any awareness -- of himself, of his condition, of his society -- for the man who lives by current events. Such a man never stops to investigate any one point, any more than he will tie together a series of news events.  We already have mentioned man's inability to consider several facts or events simultaneously and to make a synthesis of them in order to face or to oppose them. One thought drives away another; old facts are chased by new ones. Under these conditions there can be no thought. And, in fact, modern man does not think about current problems; he feels them. He reacts, but be does not understand them any more than he takes responsibility for them. He is even less capable of spotting any inconsistency between successive facts; man's capacity to forget is unlimited.  This is one of the most important and useful points for the propagandist, who can always be sure that a particular propaganda theme, statement, or event will be forgotten within a few weeks. Moreover, there is a spontaneous defensive reaction in the individual against an excess of information and -- to the extent that he clings (unconsciously) to the unity of his own person -- against inconsistencies. The best defense here is to forget the preceding event. In so doing, man denies his own continuity; to the same extent that he lives on the surface of events and makes today's events his life by obliterating yesterday's news, he refuses to see the contradictions in his own life and condemns himself to a life of successive moments, discontinuous and fragmented." - Jacques Ellul, Propaganda  --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/donavon-riley/support

    0203: Midweek Debrief - What Is Propaganda, part 1

    Propaganda is made, first of all, because of a will to action, for the purpose of effectively arming policy and giving irresistible power to its decisions.* Whoever handles this instrument can be concerned solely with effectiveness This is the supreme law. which must never be forgotten when the phenomenon of propaganda is analyzed. Ineffective propaganda is no propaganda. This instrument belongs to the technological universe, shares its characteristics. and is indissolubly linked to it. - Jaques Ellul, Propaganda Link: https://ia801202.us.archive.org/11/items/Propaganda_201512/Propaganda.pdf --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/donavon-riley/support

    0202: Midweek Debrief - Death, Still-Borns & Ravens

    No pressure, no diamond. You don’t become a good captain by never meeting a storm. And so, at the end of your life – many years from now God willing – there is but one tree, vines threaded gloriously and ramshackley together – holy in its way – offering you a place to sit down and rest awhile, its branches sagging under the weight of timeless fruit produced to settle your restless stomach.  --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/donavon-riley/support
