"These thoughtfully curated recipes are a practical and affordable way to find comfort and nourishment during these demanding times. Soup symbolizes a simple yet powerful element of self-care, reminding students that taking a moment for themselves is just as important as acing that final exam."

This from one of the awesome students (incidentally, *not* a history major) in my Reformation Europe course: "Every day I get emails from the university barraging me with offers for pizza parties and other bullsh*t to make me feel included. I don't want any f**king pizza parties. I want to know that I can take the courses I need to take, and that they're not going to be f**king cancelled thirteen days before the semester begins." You can tell students, again and again and again, that they’re valued; you can call upon the faculty and staff to “come together as a community to foster a sense of belonging” ad nauseam. But if you don’t provide the basics, like a reliable offering of courses and a well-supported faculty to teach them, it’s all just empty rhetoric.

Here are links to the written paper and the video of my recent Sir John Graham Lecture, "The Compass of Character" for the Maxim Institute. I argue that modern western societies expect too much of mere "law", "education" and "commerce" to deliver the "good life", and that the missing element in our social imaginary is "religion", properly understood. https://lnkd.in/gjYNaBHC https://lnkd.in/gTYsZ4g6

Seeing the UK wine industry going from strength to strength is fantastic to see. With nearly 950 vineyards producing close to 22 million bottles of wine each year shows just how far we have come. Rightfully, major investment is starting to come through from both the Government and some of the big names in the market. Today, it is thought that there are 4,200ha under vine which is forecast to rise by 85% by 2032, marking viticulture as the fastest-growing agricultural industry in the UK. #wineindustry #wine #wineinvestment #agriculture #englishwine

I have it right here! A required reading while studying at Saint Louis University. What I learned: Stop carrying the burden of the world yourself; work for your own benefit, not that of others. Free enterprise, willing trade, innovation and a higher standard of living will result overall. The Bible not only describes free enterprise and peaceful persuasion as the moral means for achieving human flourishing, but it also provides the specific moral actions which best produce social coordination, peace, and prosperity. Ayn Rand was quite complex, however, to make sense of why Rand would have been so uncompromising in her opposition to faith, it is helpful to explore her distinctive view of what faith demands.
