Artistry and Aiming for the Higher Things, with Stephen Roach
Stephen Roach of the Makers and Mystics podcast joins the show to talk about artistry, how to be comfortable with the paradox that Christianity calls people towards, and developing the arts as a language to talk about the higher things.
Makers and Mystics is a podcast exploring the intersections of faith, culture, and art. It is tied to the wonderful The Breath and the Clay creative arts gathering in Winston Salem, SC.

This “Enlightened” New World utopia isn’t turning out to be all it was cracked up to be. Society is disenchanting, but are the only alternatives hiding out in the hills or burying yourself in books? With an air of levity and a touch of humor, John Heers teaches how to examine the confusing New World by calling upon the mind and wisdom of oft-forgotten Old. Heavy Things, Lightly.

    The speculation that Alex Garland must have had to make huge concessions to the script of Civil War is incorrect at least based on his own telling of how the film came about during the Q&A at the SXSW premiere. He said he gave the script to A24 and it was the quickest greenlight he’d ever gotten and they had no changes.

    So we’re saying that Leo DiCaprio hasn’t done a funny role? How about Django Unchained? How about Once Upon a Time in Hollywood? How about Don’t Look Up? Or Wolf of Wall Street? Cmon y’all. Dark and twisted comedy, perhaps, but that sh#t is funny.

    We are made to be conduits of God’s generosity. The Lord taught, give and it shall be given to you. It’s a principle of sowing and reaping. As He gives freely to us, we give to others. Never seen it fail. Trust.

    Bitcoin is a scam. The longest running blockchain was stared by Bell Labs in 1972. Blockchain is block parties for chain letters. It's not going back to $20,000. It's going to zero. It's just another digital derivative. The miners, exchanges, and pumpers do everything they do on debt to the big banks. "Bitcoin believers" are a cult. It's a pump and dump scheme, dependent upon other people buying in to create the illusion of value. It's called vaporware. Physical gold and silver are money. Everything else is debt. There's no such thing as digital gold. If you don't hold it, you don't own it. The Bible says, 'God said, the gold is mine." Bitcoin is operated by the central banks. They own all the hardware, software, pattents, licenses, etc, for the payment platforms. You have to know when to get in, and when to get out. It's a scam, so it's immoral. I don't play that.

    Apparently Bill Gates doesn't actually own anywhere nearly 60% of farm land. As of 2022 it was 270,000 acres out of 900 million total acres. (According to the AP) Still though when you count usery in all forms its probably 60%+ of total farmland controled by bankers and other moneymen.
