It was great talking live today with astronaut and social entrepreneur Ron Garan. He has a profound understanding of what it will take for humanity to evolve beyond this critical inflection point at which we find ourselves. Much of what he learned came from epiphanies gleaned while working both at the bottom of the ocean and in the further reaches of outer space. How fortunate we are to have his wisdom among us. I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as I did. You can learn more about Ron at RonGaran.com. You can subscriber to his Susbtack at RonGaran.Substack.com.

In an era when cynicism and despair can feel overwhelming, how do we recover the firebrand spirit needed for effective resistance without losing our moral center? Marianne Williamson talks with historian Harvey J. Kaye about Thomas Paine's role in turning rebellion into revolution, the power of education in nonviolent movements, and why history can be both instruction and inspiration. Plus, why this administration wants violence and why a disciplined nonviolent response matters.

Why is the U.S. involved in Venezuela and what does oil have to do with it?

They discuss Hugo Chavez, Nicolas Maduro, U.S. oil interests, Cold War ideology, and the growing fear among Latin American nations of renewed U.S. imperialism.

Who are the techno billionaires who have decided to put their money behind the destruction of democracy as we know it, to be replaced by a corporate authoritarian state?

When hate is loud, love cannot afford to whisper. When forces of oppression are on the move, lovers of freedom must respond. When those who seek to replace democracy with theocracy are gaining ground, those who are sworn to preserve and protect democracy must stand our ground. Jesus, of course, was neither oppressor nor hater nor promoter of theocracy. There are those who claim to speak for him at times, however, who are all of those things. One of the primary forces behind Project 2025 is a political movement called Christian Nationalism. Christian Nationalism speaks not of the teachings of Jesus - feeding the hungry, helping the poor, healing the sick, and kindness to the stranger. Their vision is not about love, but power - specifically a version of power that transgresses basic American Constitutional principles (subjugation of women, primacy of Christianity over other religions, and more). Progressive Christians are rising up in response, bringing to the theological as well as political sphere a voice that is much needed at this time. Theirs is a Jesus of the Gospels, recognizing that loving one another is indeed the salvation of the world. My guest in this interview is Brian Recker, author of HELL BENT: How the Fear of Hell Holds Christians Back from a Spirituality of Love. Recker, a former Evangelical pastor, is an influential figure in the Christian Deconstructionist Movement. He explains a journey taken by millions of Christians in America today. who feel strongly that a Jesus of love, not retribution, should guide our hearts.

When I read Madeleine Albright's book FASCISM: A Warning, I became deeply aware that what happened before could happen again. And it could happen here. But what is fascism, really? Is it hyperbole to make any mention of Hitler, to draw a comparison between today's politics and the Third Reich? The issue is critical. Nuance is important, but history's lessons are important too. History is a great illuminator. John Lestrange is called The History Wizard, and I've enjoyed his everyman's approach to teaching it. A scholar on Genocide Studies, he answered questions in our interview that cast light on a topic deeply relevant to our times. There is much to learn, and much to consider… Follow John on Instagram Subscribe to Marianne's Substack: https://MarianneWilliamson.Substack.com Subscribe to Marianne's YouTube Channel Follow Marianne on Instagram Follow Marianne on Facebook Follow Marianne on TikTok Learn more at Marianne.com

Christian Nationalism is now a hot topic in the United States. It is not a religious movement articulating the love and teachings of Jesus as they relate to public policy. Rather, it is a political movement that bears little resemblance the teachings of the gospels - healing the sick, feeding the hungry, helping the poor, and being good to the stranger seem to have fallen by the wayside - and promotes the message that Christianity should take precedence over all other religions in this country. Its Seven Mountains Mandate is a rather chilling repudiation of religious freedom. My video today is a conversation with public theologian Brandan Robertson, in which he gives answers to many of the questions I've had about this movement. Who are they? What do they stand for? What is their connection to far right wing conservative politics? And what is their plan for America's future? A genuinely progressive Christianity, harkening back to the love of Jesus and its relevance to our individual as well as collective lives, is being powerfully articulated by such speakers as Robertson. Thankfully, progressive Christians are not quiet right now. Their numbers are growing, and they're speaking up. I hope you find the interview interesting. It's critically important that we understand what's going on. Rev. Brandan Robertson is a noted author, activist, and public theologian, dedicated to exploring the intersections of spirituality, sexuality, and social justice. He serves as the Pastor of Sunnyside Reformed Church in New York City and is the founder and Executive Director of The Devout Foundation. Known as the "TikTok Pastor," Robertson's inclusive theological content has garnered 10 million views. He has authored, contributed to, or edited 23 books, including the INDIES Book of the Year finalist True Inclusion. His work has been featured in TIME Magazine, CNN, and The Washington Post. Robertson is a sought-after speaker who regularly presents at prestigious platforms like The White House and Oxford University, continuing to inspire and challenge audiences around the world. Robertson acquired a Bachelor of Arts in Pastoral Ministry and Biblical Studies from Moody Bible Institute, an Master of Theological Study from Iliff School of Theology, and an Master of Arts in Political Science and Public Administration from Eastern Illinois University. He's presently pursuing a PhD in Biblical Studies at Drew University. He currently resides in New York City.  Subscribe to Brandan on Substack Subscribe to Marianne's Substack: https://MarianneWilliamson.Substack.com Subscribe to Marianne's YouTube Channel Follow Marianne on Instagram Follow Marianne on Facebook Follow Marianne on TikTok Learn more at Marianne.com
