"}}},"VERSION":"8.72.53"}"> The death of Queen Elizabeth has many wondering about the future of Christianity in the UK. The Queen was outspoken about her faith in Jesus Christ, but how will King Charles change what it means for the monarch to be the \u201cDefender of the Faith\u201d? We all know evangelicals are divided by politics, but a new report by Catholic bishops says Roman Catholics are too. What can we learn from one another? Poverty among kids in the U.S. has declined dramatically in recent decades. Liberals say it\u2019s the result of government programs. Conservative credit economic growth. Who is right? \xa0 Then, Anglican pastor Aaron Damiani talks with Skye about his journey from megachurch burnout to life-giving liturgy. His new book, \u201cEarth Filled with Heaven,\u201d is written to Christians skeptical about tradition, rituals, and sacraments, but they might be the key to saving evangelicalism from itself. Plus, why you shouldn\u2019t drink coffee before shopping or trust ads featuring dogs. \xa0 Bonus Patreon Interview with Aaron Damiani - Https://www.patreon.com/posts/72516965/ \xa0 News Segment 0:00 - Intro 03:06 - Dog and cat marketing 9:42 - Drinking coffee before shopping 11:13- The Queen\u2019s faith and Christianity in the UK 21:46 - Catholic church split by politics 30:36 - Child poverty has declined \xa0 Interview with Aaron Damiani \u201cEarth Filled with Heaven: Finding Life in Liturgy, Sacraments, and other Ancient Practices of the Church\u201d - https://amzn.to/3Szeaqy Aaron Damiani - https://twitter.com/aarondamiani 43:55 - Background 47:47 - Megachurch burnout 52:14 - Liturgy and sacrament overview 59:38 - Misperceptions about liturgy 1:08:21 - Mitigating celebrity dynamics in the church 1:11:48 - Is this just another novelty? 1:15:08 - Credits \xa0 Articles from news segment:\u201cDog owners take more risks, cat owners are more cautious, research finds\u201d by Lei Jia (Salon) - https://www.salon.com/2022/09/04/dog-owners-take-more-risks-cat-owners-are-more-cautious-research-finds_partner/ \xa0 \u201cDrinking coffee before shopping could make you spend more\u201d by Adam Barnes (The Hill) - https://thehill.com/changing-america/enrichment/arts-culture/3567346-drinking-coffee-before-shopping-could-make-you-spend-more/ \xa0 \u201cUS Catholic bishops\u2019 report to the Vatican shows a church split by politics\u201d by Claire Giangrav\xe9 (Religion News Service) - https://religionnews.com/2022/09/23/u-s-catholic-bishops-report-to-the-vatican-shows-a-church-split-by-politics/ \xa0 \u201cExpanded Safety Net Drives Sharp Drop in Child Poverty\u201d by Jason DeParle (NYT) - https://www.nytimes.com/2022/09/11/us/politics/child-poverty-analysis-safety-net.html \xa0 Holy Post website: https://www.holypost.com/ Holy Post Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/holypost \xa0 The Holy Post is supported by our listeners.
