\"News<\/a>In the time of King David, the tribe of Issachar pro\u00adduced shrewd war\u00adriors \u201cwho under\u00adstood the times and knew what Israel should do\u201d (1 Chron 12:32). In a sim\u00adi\u00adlar way, we need to become wise peo\u00adple whose faith inter\u00adacts with the world.<\/p>\n

To that end, on Fri\u00addays I\u2019ve been shar\u00ading articles\/resources I have found help\u00adful recent\u00adly in think\u00ading about broad\u00ader cul\u00adtur\u00adal and soci\u00adetal issues (be sure to see the dis\u00adclaimer at the bot\u00adtom). May these give you greater insight, so that you may con\u00adtin\u00adue the tra\u00addi\u00adtion of Issachar. Past emails are archived at http:\/\/glenandpaula.com\/wordpress\/category\/links<\/a><\/p>\n

With\u00adout fur\u00adther ado, I give you the inter\u00adest\u00ading things:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. I heard a mov\u00ading Radi\u00ado\u00adlab episode: Gray\u2019s Dona\u00adtion<\/a>. If you\u2019ve nev\u00ader lis\u00adtened to Radi\u00ado\u00adlab before, I high\u00adly rec\u00adom\u00admend the episodes Col\u00adors<\/a> and Oops<\/a>. If you\u2019re into pod\u00adcasts, check out a list of thought\u00adful Chris\u00adt\u00adian pod\u00adcasts<\/a> I com\u00adpiled a while back.<\/li>\n
  2. \u2019A Tour of Burned Church\u00ades\u2019 Explores Race, Resilience, and Reli\u00adgion in Amer\u00adi\u00adca<\/a> (Huff\u00adin\u00adg\u00adton Post, Christo\u00adpher Math\u00adias): an inter\u00adview with a pod\u00adcast\u00ader about a series he did<\/a> on the burn\u00ading of black church\u00ades in Amer\u00adi\u00adca. I have not lis\u00adtened to the series, but the inter\u00adview was good.<\/li>\n
  3. Data about Adults Who Do Not Believe In God<\/a> (Pew Forum) \u2014 one of the charts makes me think of a fun\u00adny clip about athe\u00adism as white priv\u00adi\u00adlege<\/a> [the whole thing is worth watch\u00ading, but you can jump to the sound bite at 5:45]. There is a good sum\u00adma\u00adry of some of the take\u00adaways at GetRe\u00adli\u00adgion<\/a>. On a relat\u00aded note, there is a study in Cur\u00adrent Biol\u00ado\u00adgy: The Neg\u00ada\u00adtive Asso\u00adci\u00ada\u00adtion Between Reli\u00adgious\u00adness and Children\u2019s Altru\u00adism Across The World<\/a>. The com\u00adments on red\u00addit<\/a> are inter\u00adest\u00ading (more inter\u00adest\u00ading to me than the study itself).<\/li>\n
  4. A some\u00adwhat con\u00adtrar\u00adi\u00adan piece: Lib\u00ader\u00adals Are Los\u00ading The Cul\u00adture War<\/a> (Mol\u00adly Ball, The Atlantic). A semi-response piece: This Isn\u2019t A Cul\u00adture War, It\u2019s A War On Cul\u00adture<\/a> (The Fed\u00ader\u00adal\u00adist, David Harsanyi).<\/li>\n
  5. File under sad: The State Depart\u00adment Turns Its Back on Syr\u00adi\u00adan Chris\u00adtians and Oth\u00ader Non-Mus\u00adlim Refugees<\/a> (Nation\u00adal Review, Nina Shea)<\/li>\n
  6. The sto\u00adry I allud\u00aded to in my ser\u00admon: How Prop 47 Helped One Man Keep His Job<\/a> (KQED,  Sara Hos\u00adsai\u00adni). This is an illus\u00adtra\u00adtion of what jus\u00adti\u00adfi\u00adca\u00adtion involves \u2014 a legal decree that exempts you from penal\u00adties the law would oth\u00ader\u00adwise apply (when I quote stuff in my ser\u00admon I try to remem\u00adber to share it here).<\/li>\n
