Language from the Matrix has taken over the internet. In this video, I wanted to explore the use of this language by people like Andrew Tate. I believe that The Matrix is actually a retelling of an ancient Greek story. Comparing the two stories reveals a different definition of the term "red-pilled." Given this new definition, you are probably not red-pilled enough...--- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/braden-storms/support

Willem suggested that we read some Plato to discuss in this episode. We read both the Euthyphro and the Apology, dealing with piety and the death of Socrates respectively. Diving into Plato allowed us to make comparisons to Christianity and ask the question, "What are the highest things?"

Today we have an amazing story from Cam Huelin. Cam was diagnosed with an aggressive form of brain cancer in his senior of college at Biola University. Since the diagnosis, Cam underwent two major surgeries as well as chemo and radiation and has come out on the other side in remission. Miraculously, Cam's brain function has remained largely unimpaired outside of some minor difficulty with short-term memory.
It was a blessing to hear more about Cam's story and record it to share with you all. He is an amazingly strong young man and has made the most of his experience, learning valuable lessons in humility and faith. Please take the chance to learn from his infectious optimism and endurance.

Dr. Douglas Axe is the Maxwell Professor of Molecular Biology at Biola University. For years he has been researching the theory of Darwinian Evolution with results that indicate a failure in the model. Dr. Axe is a proponent of the idea of "Intelligent Design," and his book Undeniable: How Biology Confirms Our Intuition That Life is Designed contains his "common sensical" argument in favor of the idea. Dr. Axe coauthored another book, The Price of Panic: How the Tyranny of Experts Turned a Pandemic Into a Catastrophe, addressing the challenges of using science as a decision-making tool in high-pressure situations (particularly COVID-19). Dr. Axe is a great scientist and thinker, and it was a pleasure discussing his specialty with him.Undeniable:https://www.amazon.com/Undeniable-Biology-Confirms-Intuition-Designed/dp/0062349597The Price of Panic:https://www.amazon.com/Price-Panic-Tyranny-Pandemic-Catastrophe/dp/1684511410--- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/braden-storms/support
