A Show of Faith

A survey hits your inbox after a coffee, a doctor visit, a flight, even a car rental and it quietly teaches you what the world rewards: the score. We start with Memorial Day, because gratitude and sacrifice are a reality check for any talk about freedom, values, and public life. From the history of Decoration Day to personal stories of immigration and refuge, we name what’s easy to forget: the ability to speak, worship, and live openly is carried by people who paid a real price. Then w...

A Star Trek parable sets the stage for a deeper question: why do these ancient pages still feel alive, and what exactly are we trusting when we call them Scripture? We open the Bible not as a single volume but as a library of voices—prophets, poets, evangelists, and apostles—each bearing witness to encounters with God. That shift reframes authority: not a magic object, but faithful testimony preserved by communities that tested, argued, and finally recognized which words carried living trut...

Ancient songs still know our names. We open a wide-ranging conversation on why the Psalms continue to steady hearts across Jewish and Christian traditions, moving from the comfort of Psalm 23 to the moral clarity of Psalm 1 and the sheltering promise of Psalm 91. Along the way, we dig into how Hebrew parallelism makes ideas sing, why familiar translations carry deep emotional ties, and how music—old and new—turns prayer into something you can hold when grief blurs the edges. Rudy shares how ...

What if gratitude isn’t a seasonal sentiment but a moral obligation that reshapes who we become? We take on a single line from the Eucharistic prayer—“It is right and just, our duty and our salvation, always and everywhere to give you thanks”—and follow it all the way from Sunday liturgy into everyday life. With a professor, a priest, a millennial engineer, and a rabbi at the table, we examine why failing to thank the Giver isn’t just impolite; it’s untrue, unjust, and spiritually dangerous. ...

What if the world isn’t a loose chain of accidents but a held story—with freedom that matters and guidance you can trust? We take an unflinching look at divine providence: how Jefferson and Adams spoke of it, why Washington leaned on it, and where that old vocabulary still speaks to modern hearts wrestling with chaos, choice, and meaning. We trace the classic idea that God sustains creation moment by moment—“powerful, yet gentle”—without erasing human agency. Along the way, we challenge the ...

The fourth great revolution of human history is already here, and it's transforming every aspect of society faster than we can comprehend. Artificial intelligence has arrived barely two decades into the new millennium, following the printing, industrial, and digital revolutions that reshaped previous centuries. Our panel explores the profound implications of AI through the lens of faith and ethics. How does AI impact education when students can generate papers without absorbing knowled...

What happens when ancient wisdom meets modern questions? When a rabbi, priest, professor, and millennial tackle your deepest spiritual curiosities, the result is a fascinating exploration of faith that transcends traditional boundaries. Tonight's episode takes a different approach as our interfaith panel responds to listener questions about everything from biblical serpents to the limits of government authority. The conversation begins with a poignant acknowledgment of the devastating floods...
