| 11/14/24 | ![]() Talky Bnonnsense #12: Smokey’s review of The Lord of the Rings: A Musical Tale | Having just seen the Lord of the Rings musical on stage, Smokey pontificates on the good, the bad and the ugly, giving it 4 stars for sheer audaciousness, and recommending you see it.

| 11/9/24 | ![]() Talky Bnonnsense #11: the specious stereotype of cooking (art) vs baking (science) | In which Smokey, driven mad by her great learning, rants with considerable erudition about how cooking is just as much a science as baking, baking is as much an art as cooking — and why it matters, and we should all be more like Walter White.

| 10/21/24 | ![]() Talky Bnonnsense #10: divorcing Superman | Superhuman machines have made us unprecedentedly wealthy…and the blessings of our forebears are now luxuries we cannot afford. When it becomes pointless to do anything yourself, you may discover that you yourself become pointless. This is a public episode.

| 9/10/24 | ![]() [S1E7.5] Hair, trees, crowns, angels & glory-clouds | In this tweener episode, Bnonn lays some groundwork for episode 8 (head coverings) with a didactic overview of the biblical symbolism that unifies hair, trees, crowns, angels, and the glory-cloud of God.The sermon referenced, on the connection between worship and judgment: https://redwoodchurch.substack.com/p/how-should-we-worship-part-13-the This is a public episode.

| 8/5/24 | ![]() Talky Bnonnsense #9: is disability an impediment to marriage? | What is the heart of marriage? What are its duties and obligations — and does being disabled prevent you meeting them? We look at historic practice and scriptural data to establish where the lines are…and where things get pretty gray. This is a public episode.

| 7/2/24 | ![]() Talky Bnonnsense #8: wives with jobs aren’t (necessarily) betraying their husbands | While it’s true that a wife should be oriented toward her husband, her household, and especially her children, it is false that simply having a job ipso facto divides her loyalties. Employment under another man is not a covenantal relationship. The article referenced in this episode: https://bnonn.com/works-righteousness-a-square-contractual-peg-in-a-round-covenantal-hole/ This is a public episode.

| 6/14/24 | ![]() Talky Bnonnsense #7: how Jane Austen (kinda) predicted feminism | Smokey, in lieu of doing research for the next episode, instead regales us with wisdomous thoughts about how the character motifs in Jane Austen’s novels paint a bleak picture of a society starving for effective providers and protectors — with inevitable results. This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit www.truemagic.nz/subscribe | 21m 18s | ||||||
| 5/1/24 | ![]() [S1E7] Glory, shame & pixie cuts | If long hair is a woman’s glory, what does that mean for pixie cuts and bobs? We discuss the surprisingly recent history of short hair on women, the infamous Felicity chop, and whether consent nullifies shame. This is a public episode.

| 4/5/24 | ![]() [S1E6] How should we dress for church? | Is the idea of a Sunday best biblical? If so, why is history replete with theologians telling people to stop dressing so fancy? How do we navigate between the ditches of immodesty and slovenliness when gathering in the heavenly court?Resources mentioned in the episode: John Wesley’s full sermon on dressing plainly: https://biblesnet.com/john-wesley-on-dress.pdfBnonn’s sermon on worship as a meeting of the heavenly court: https://redwoodchurch.substack.com/p/how-should-we-worship-part-12-worship This is a public episode.

| 3/12/24 | ![]() [S1E5] Thorny questions about modesty as place-keeping | If modesty is fundamentally about knowing and keeping our place, then certain thorny questions naturally arise. In this episode, we consider five of them:1. Is upward mobility immodest?2. Are naked babies immodest?3. What if you need to wear something immodest?4. What if you’re biblically modest, but culturally immodest?5. Must our dress be distinctively gendered?And here’s the article mentioned in the episode, which may help you to fit modesty into a larger covenantal and cultural context:https://discipleshipanddominion.substack.com/p/why-life-without-covenant-clown-world This is a public episode.

| 2/29/24 | ![]() Talky Bnonnsense #6: celebrating leap day by gathering the remainder | Why is the solar calendar not exactly 365 days? Why did God put a remainder of a day into every year, what does it teach us about the completion of time, and what does he want us to do with it? How can we better take hold of it, and exercise dominion over it, so that we are shaping the forms of our lives to reflect Christ’s rule? This is a public episode.

| 2/6/24 | ![]() Xmas special #3: Doing Christmas left-handed | It makes natural sense to celebrate Christmas in the dark of winter, just as the light is returning to the world. But what about the 10% of us in the southern hemisphere? What does it mean to celebrate Christmas in midsummer—and how should we be adjusting our liturgical practices to reflect this meaning? Aaron Renn’s newsletter referenced in the show: https://www.aaronrenn.com/p/capturing-institutions This is a public episode.

| 12/24/23 | ![]() Xmas special #2: Gifts, trees & nativity scenes as paraliturgy | Since we should be celebrating Christmas, the question is how. Are the forms of our celebration good? What spiritual patterns do they embody? In this episode, we talk about how gift-giving, Christmas trees, and nativity scenes are good forms of liturgical practice that involve us in the incarnation of Christ. This is a public episode.

| 12/14/23 | ![]() Xmas special #1: Impressing heavenly patterns into time | Should Christians celebrate Christmas? Contrary to much hand-wringing from a surprising diversity of theological traditions, the church is clearly authorized by the patterns of scripture to institute and observe festivals like Christmas. Indeed, to fail in this is a functional denial of our status as sons of God, of our Great Commission, and ultimately of the lordship of Christ over time as well as over space.
