Conceptual image is AI-generated. I recently quickly read the 2024 book by Rev Karla Kamstra: Deconstructing: Leaving Church, Finding Faith. I say quickly because the writing style is nurturing and conversational, but seems directed more toward a young, female audience who are "spiritual, but no longer religious" and have found the courage to leave their conservative, patriarchal Christian church. The book provides a helpful antidote to the scourge of white Christian (sic) na

I have noticed a recent resurgence of post-doom angst being discussed by various contemporary thinkers I follow, so I recently revisited John D.

In the book Navigating the Age of Chaos ( published October 28, 2025), Jamais Cascio , the originator of the visionary BANI framework, unpacks the tools and perspectives needed to navigate our increasingly turbulent era. He is joined by coauthors Bob Johansen and Angela F. Williams ." Click here for a more detail

Scientists tell us that we as a species are in the middle of a major evolutionary transition , as technology is changing at a much faster pace than we are socially able to process. How can we evaluate and ensure real progress for our species and our planet? One of the issues is the rise of misinformation and deepfakes. Discernment and caution are necessary with false narratives being spread on social media. Recently, the Club of Rome has introduced a Young Person's Guide to S

This past Christmas, 2025, we gave our two youngest grandchildren the Smithsonian Atlas of Space: A Map to the Universe from the Big Bang to the Future with the hope that it would inform a hopeful and awe-inspiring cosmic perspective of our amazing evolutionary story from stardust to conscious beings. Many people and diverse organizations (i.e. the Human Energy Project ; Center for Christogenesis ; DeepTime Network ; Humanity's Team ; and the Shift Network ) are offering a
